Introduction to .PDF documents:
PDF files are generally read by Adobe Acrobat Reader or compatible PDF viewers.
PDF files are popular because they can be viewed on many different types of computers.
If you create a PDF file on a PC compatible computer, a Mac user, or Unix user
can view the file too.
In order to read any .pdf documents, you will need to obtain a free copy of
the Adobe Acrobat Reader. To do so, simply follow this link:

Downloading .pdf documents
to your hard drive:
PDF files can present a challenge if you want to download them before you read
them. Often, if you click on a download link in the usual manner, the Adobe Acrobat
Reader will attempt to load the file itself, without asking if you want to save
it. The picture below shows an example of a PDF file being loaded into a browser.
If you want to save the file instead of reading it
in your browser, here are the steps.
1) Position your cursor over the link to the file Right-click on the mouse.
You'll see a screen like this
2) RIGHT CLICK on the link, and from the list that drops down, choose:
"Save Target As"
3) Determine the directory you want to save the files in, and press
the Save button. An example is shown below:
When the document is finished downloading to your computer, you'll see a screen
similar to the one below.
Ideally, you should save the .PDF document to your
DESKTOP. That allows you to find it easily when the download is complete.
When you have found the .pdf document on your desktop, simply double click
it open, and it will open automatically in the Acrobat Reader that you should
have already installed on your system.
