How to Download PDF documents?

Some of the Public Health Agency of Canada's documents are available to you in an Adobe PDF Format. This is a universal file format that allows you to read, print or download a document from online while maintaining the fonts, graphics and general format of that document. To view a PDF document, you must have Adobe Acrobat reader installed. Readers are available at no charge for computers that use DOS, Macintosh, UNIX, and Windows operating systems.

To download a PDF file, click using the right mouse button. A box from your browser will appear asking you if you want to save the file. Just specify where you want the file saved for future reference. Beside every icon, the size of the file is specified to let you know how long a file can take to download. Remember that depending on the speed of your modem, Internet traffic and your Internet provider, the download time can fluctuate.

Once the file is on your local drive, you can view the documents using Ado
be Acrobat software. If you do not have this software, a copy of Acrobat Reader or Exchange is required. Documentation for installation and operating requirements of Acrobat software is included with the software.
