How to view .pdf files

.pdf files are commonly used on the web for forms, brochures, etc. However, they require a free special program, called a .pdf reader, to view and print the forms. Many computers come with a .pdf reader installed, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader. If, however, you click on a .pdf document and are unable to view it, you need to download a reader.

Here are links to two free readers (click on the logo):

Get Adobe Reader

Adobe Reader is the industry standard, but it's a big (21MB) download; if you're on a dial-up connection, it takes a loooooong time.

Foxit Reader

Foxit works just as well as Acrobat, but it's a much smaller (1.6MB) download.

In either case, just follow the instructions to download and install the software. Once installed, you'll be able to read .pdf files on this and all other websites.
