About Acrobat Reader

This site has many PDF documents. Before continuing you may want to click on the ADOBE button above to download the Acrobat Reader application. You must have Acrobat Reader installed to view, search and print our *.pdf documents.

Some browsers allow you to view the Acrobat document online and when you click on one of our thumbnails of the document, Acrobat Reader will start up and load the document in the browser window. You may then view the document online and browse as desired. A few things to remember when working in this mode:

If you decide you want to save the document to your disk, go to FILE, SAVE AS. If the menu that opens allows you to save a *.pdf file then you can save the document to your disk. If the only options available are *.html or*.txt, then your browser does not allow you to save it in this manner. You need to use your BACK button to go back to the previous page. This time click on the icon or link and RIGHT CLICK. This will give you a menu with the option to SAVE AS and you can save the *.pdf file to your disk. Then open the document from your file manager by double clicking the file name.

Do not try to close the Acrobat view of your document when run through your browser or you will close your browser and will have to restart . Use the BACK button to return to the previous page.
