Adobe PDF Files
To read and print a PDF file,
you must have
Adobe® Acrobat® Reader
installed on your PC. You can
download a version suitable for
your system, free of charge,
from Adobe. Adobe also provides
tools and information to help
make Adobe PDF files accessible
to users with visual
disabilities at
http://access.adobe.com.
Forms identified as "fillable"
have been created using
interactive form fields and may
be filled out electronically
using the Adobe Acrobat Reader
5.1 or Adobe Acrobat 5.0 (or
later). Once the form is
complete you can print a copy.
(Note: The full version of
Acrobat 5.0 or the Adobe
supplemental software Approval

Graphic File Formats
Graphic art on this site is
offered in multiple formats.
Most of the images you see are
low-resolution files (gif or
jpg) suitable for viewing on the
screen. When using other
formats, please note the
following:
-
PDF, the Adobe Portable
Document Format, preserves
the look and feel of the
original document. For some
printing and duplication
purposes (classroom use, for
example), this is a good
choice. To read and print a
PDF file, you must have the
Adobe Acrobat® Reader
installed on your PC (see
"Adobe PDF" above). We
recommend using the latest
version of the Reader.
-
The TIF (or TIFF) and
EPS formats are
higher-resolution formats.
Files in these formats may
be too large to fit on a
standard floppy disk. We
suggest having your printing
professional download the
files from this site, or
saving them to a computer
hard drive (space
permitting), high-capacity
disk (e.g., Zip® or Jaz®),
or writable CD. (Note: your
system's download manager
may show the file extension
EPS as PS.)
-
Some educational
materials (brochures,
posters, etc) may be offered
in the high-resolution SIT
format. These files are
intended for professional
offset printing. SIT files
were prepared on a Macintosh
G3 using programs such as
Adobe Pagemaker, Quark
XPress, Adobe Illustrator,
and Adobe Photoshop. To
facilitate downloading, the
files have been compressed
using Aladdin's Stuffit
Deluxe and archived in a SIT
file. To expand or open a
SIT file you will need a
copy of Stuffit Expander.
You can download a free copy
from the Stuffit web site at
http://www.stuffit.com/.
PC users will not be able to
open or manipulate the files
contained in the SIT archive
files. PC users will need to
work directly with a
professional printer,
graphic designer, or service
bureau to open, manipulate,
and print the files. File
sizes listed on web pages
are for the compressed
files.
