Adobe Acrobat Reader Help

You cannot open Adobe Acrobat documents (*.pdf) unless you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer.  This is available free from Adobe.

If you have a firewall on your computer, or your network, then you may not be able to open Adobe Acrobat documents in your web browser. You need to configure your browser and/or firewall to allow ActiveX controls to run if you want Adobe Acrobat documents to open directly in your browser. Please see the Help for your browser or firewall for more information on allowing ActiveX controls to run.

If you don't want to change your browser or firewall settings, you can still read Adobe Acrobat documents. Instead of left clicking your mouse on the document you want to download, you should RIGHT click (use your right mouse button) on the document that you want to download. You will see an option that will allow you to save the file to your hard drive. (In Internet Explorer, this option is , "Save Target As..."). This will open a dialog that will allow you to specify where you want to save the file to. Once the file has been saved, you can open Adobe Acrobat reader from your Windows Start Menu.  Then you can use Adobe Acrobat Reader to open the file that you downloaded to your harddrive in Abobe Acrobat Reader.

Please see the Support Section of the Adobe website for more information on using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
