Tips
for Using Adobe Acrobat
- To view the PDF version of an article,
click on the
PDF link. If the Acrobat Reader is
present on your hard disk and if your browser is configured to
open PDF files in Acrobat, you will retrieve the article. Select
Print under Acrobat's File menu to
print this article.
- PDF files are very large and retrieving
them may take several minutes. The speed depends primarily on
the speed of your network connection, the volume of Internet
traffic, and the speed of your own computer. You must display
the PDF version in the Acrobat Reader before it can be printed.
- Because PDF files are large, you should
close any open PDF documents before opening a new one to avoid
memory limitations.
- The Adobe Acrobat Reader allows you to view
and print articles but it does not allow you to save an article
to your disk. To do this, point to the
PDF icon.
Hold down your mouse button on your Mac until a new menu
appears. If you use Windows, use the right button on your mouse
to display the menu. Select Save this Link as....
Under Format, select Source. Type a
name for the saved file and click Save.
- There is a second optional way to save PDF
files on your disk. When you download a PDF file, your browser
stores a temporary copy of the file on your hard disk; this file
is automatically deleted when you quit. Using your computer's
Search
or Find File function, locate the file(s) you wish
to save (the name(s) will end in pdf) and move them
to another folder/directory on your hard disk before quitting
your browser.

Obtaining
and Configuring Adobe Acrobat
- The requested file or article is a PDF
(Portable Document Format) file. This version can be viewed and
printed using any program that can open and print PDF files. We
suggest using the Adobe Acrobat Reader. The
Adobe Acrobat Reader allows you to view and print OCR articles
in PDF format.
-
- The Acrobat Reader is available from
the Free
Adobe Acrobat Reader Software page. Follow the
instructions on that page to download and install the
software.
After you have downloaded and
installed the Acrobat Reader software, you need to configure
your browser to open PDF files with it:
- Go to
Edit
menu/Preferences/Navigator/Applications.
- Click the
New (or New
Type) button in the Applications window.
