Adobe Acrobat Reader

Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) is designed to represent print documents in an electronic format while retaining formatting and layout. PDF files will look the same regardless of the hardware, software operating system or screen resolution they are displayed on.

Downloading and viewing PDF files

Adobe Reader is free software that enables users to view and print PDF files on all major computer platforms, including hand-held devices.

Download the Adobe Reader software

If your web browser is properly configured and Adobe Reader installed, you will be able to view PDF within the browser or download to view offline.

To view a PDF within your web browser simply left-click the link to the PDF document.
To download a PDF, right-click the link and select Save Target As, Download Linked File, Save Link As or a similar menu item. (This menu item may differ depending on the web browser you are using). You can then choose your prefered download location and filename.

Note: Some versions of Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat have a default feature called 'automatically detect URLs from text'. Acrobat's interpretation of web addresses may be problematic when the URL is split between lines or when the underlying text is not recognized properly. PDFs on this website are best viewed with this feature turned off.
