How
to Download PDF Documents
Some documents are
available 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
Adobe 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.

Troubleshooting
PDFs
If you are using
Internet Explorer or AOL, you may get a blank page when you try to open
a PDF file.
This problem occurs
when Acrobat or Acrobat Reader opens inside your
browser window rather than in an Acrobat window. There are two ways to
solve this problem.
Save the PDF file:
- Hold your mouse
over the link to the PDF file,
- Right click,
- Choose Save Target
As in the pop-up menu,
- In the Save As
dialog box, select a location on your hard drive, and then click Save,
- Start Acrobat
Reader,
- Open the file
you have just saved.
Re-configure your
Acrobat:
- Exit from Internet
Explorer or AOL,
- Start Acrobat
or Acrobat Reader,
- Choose Edit >
Preferences > Options (Acrobat 5.0 or Acrobat Reader 5.0) or choose
File > Preferences > General (Acrobat 4.x or Acrobat Reader 4.x),
- Deselect Display
PDF in Browser (Acrobat 5.0 or Acrobat Reader 5.0) or deselect Web Browser
Integration (Acrobat 4.x or Acrobat Reader 4.x),
- Click OK, and
then exit from Acrobat or Acrobat Reader,
- Restart Internet
Explorer or AOL.
Note:
The next time you
select a link to a PDF file in Internet Explorer or
AOL, a dialog box will prompt you to specify what to do with the file.
- If you select
"Open this file from its current location," your browser will
open the PDF file in a separate Acrobat window. You will have to go
back to your browser window to go to other items on the Internet.
- If you select
"Save this file to disk," your browser will save the PDF file
to your hard disk from where you can open it later.
