Help on Using PDF Files
PDF is a type of file compatible with most types of computer which enables documents
to be read on-screen or printed out for future reference. In order to access these
files, you will need a PDF reader program, the most common of which is Adobe Reader
(formerly called ‘Acrobat’).
Provided that you have a PDF reader installed on your computer, clicking on the links
for PDF documents will open the document in your web-browser. You will see a set
of controls for saving, searching and printing the document at the top of the window.
Alternatively, you may wish to right-click the link and, from the menu which will
appear, you can choose the option to save the document to a disc-drive for subsequent
viewing and/or printing. (In Internet Explorer 7, this is called ‘Save Target as
. .’)
If you do not have a PDF reader programme, you can download a free copy of Adobe
Reader from the Adobe website using the link below.
