Adobe Acrobat PDF (portable document format) Files

Some documents on the AEOE website are in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. They can be viewed online if you have the Acrobat PDFviewer browser plug-in installed*. Simply click on the link. They can also be downloaded for viewing offline by right clicking (control-click on a Mac) the link, then selecting the appropriate choice. If you have limited memory on your computer, you are more likely to be successful with offline viewing.

Adobe Acrobat PDF is a cross-platform document format that allows highly formatted documents to be viewed and printed with an appropriately configured web browser, or downloaded and printed with the reader application, on Macintosh, PC, and UNIX platforms. To obtain the free Adobe Acrobat Reader and web browser plug-in, go to the Get Adobe Reader site. If you have an older version, you may get better results with the latest version.

If you are using a "non-standard" browser and Adobe Reader won't work for you, Shubert|It makes a great free PDF viewer, so you can view PDF files online, or choose to download them after viewing. Go to Schubertit.com to download it. (free for home and educational institution use for not-for-profit activities)

  (you can also use Windows Update to get the lastest version)
