Acrobat PDF Files /Adobe Acrobat Reader
Adobe Acrobat Reader
The majority of our online documents are available in PDF (Portable Document Format) format.
These files are platform independent and designed with the internet in mind to facilitate efficient distribution of large, complex documents. They are used to represent and exchange printable documents and electronically preserve the format of the original document containing all the original fonts, images, graphics, layout and formatting.

To open a PDF file you have two options. You can download a program called Acrobat Reader and install it onto your computer. The program is available free of charge from the Adobe Acrobat site. Because the download is large - typically between 8MB and 16MB - you may find it easier to find a copy of the program on one of the CDs distributed by computer magazines.
The second option is to use an online PDF conversion tool. You can visit the Adobe Acrobat website, type in the address of a PDF file and get it to translate the file into a more readable format while you wait. Or you can email the address of the file (or the file itself) to Adobe, and they will email a translation back. These translations of the files may not be as clearly formatted as the original PDF file.
Are PDF files accessible?
PDF file standards have improved over the years and have become more accessible through technologies like screen readers, navigation through the keyboar and enhanced screen viewing. The Adobe site provides information on how best to use these features. You may come across earlier versions of PDF files which are not so accessible.
