About Portable
Document Format (PDF) and Adobe Acrobat Reader
|
|
| Some documents on
our site are available for viewing in Portable Document Format (PDF).
This format makes it possible to make available documents with
formatting that is too complicated for the basic formatting language of
the World Wide Web -- Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). PDF files can
generally display and print much finer detail than HTML documents or the
graphics formats generally used on the Web: GIF and JPEG. PDF is
especially useful for making documents that have already been produced
in print available on the Web. |

|
| To view and print
PDF files, you must have installed Adobe Acrobat Reader version 3 or
above (version 4 is recommended). Adobe Acrobat Reader is a free program
from Adobe Systems, Inc. Versions of Acrobat Reader are available for
all major computer operating systems. Many web browsers (including
Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer) can be configured to
automatically launch Acrobat Reader when PDF files are encountered. |
