 Help on the Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format

Some of the pages available on The Green Lane^TM are electronic versions of documents that were originally designed for printing. These documents can now be downloaded in Adobe Acrobat format, so that you may view and print them with virtually the same graphics, typography, and layout as the original printed version.

The Adobe Acrobat files available on The Green Lane^TM can be viewed or printed offline using the Acrobat reader. To receive the latest version for Windows, Macintosh, Unix, and DOS versions, visit the Adobe Acrobat distribution page.

Visit the Adobe Acrobat web site at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html for instructions on configuring your browser to work with the Acrobat reader, and for support and update information.

 Converting PDF to HTML or ASCII formats

The Adobe corporation has developed tools to help make PDF files accessible to the visually disabled. The tools convert Adobe PDF documents into HTML or ASCII text which can then be read by a number of common screen reading programs that synthesize text as audible speech.
