Help with PDF Documents
PDF documents can be viewed in two ways:
- Click on the link to open the document in your web browser
- Save the document to your computer’s hard drive, and open it with a PDF reader, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader.
If you experience difficulty viewing the document in your web browser, try saving the document to your computer instead. Here’s how:
Using a PC
- Be sure that you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed. If not, get it here for free.
- Right-click the document name.
- Click “Save Target As” or “Save Link As” from the pop-up menu (the exact wording depends on your web browser).
- Choose a location on your computer to save the file that you will remember (we recommend the Desktop). Click “Save.”
- The file will begin downloading to your computer. This may take a few minutes, depending on the size of the document and the speed of your internet connection.
- When the download is complete, the file will appear as a new icon on your Desktop (or the location you chose in step 4).
- Go to your Desktop (or the location you chose) and double-click the document’s icon. This will open the document in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Using a Macintosh with Firefox or Safari
- Be sure that you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed. If not, get it here for free.
- Hold down the “option” key while clicking on the document name.
- Choose a location on your computer to save the file that you will remember (we recommend the Desktop). Click “Save.”
- The file will begin downloading to your computer. This may take a few minutes, depending on the size of the document and the speed of your internet connection.
- When the download is complete, the file will appear as a new icon on your Desktop (or the location you chose in step 3).
- Go to your Desktop (or the location you chose) and double-click the document’s icon. This will open the document in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
