Here is some helpful information
on working with various file
formats you will find on this
site. Technical problems such as
broken links may be reported to

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 is needed in order
to SAVE a completed form.) For more information, go to the Adobe
Reader Web site.
Printing Just the Center Content or a Portion of a Page
To print content without the left, right, or top navigation
elements, highlight the desired text. From your browser's "File"
menu, select "Print," then "Selection." |
Video Files
Real Networks' RealPlayer is required to view some video clips. If
you do not have RealPlayer, you may download a free version from
http://www.real.com/player/. Only the free version is required.
Installation instructions are available on the RealPlayer web site.
Newer clips will play in Windows Media Player. Some are offered in
multiple formats. |
Flash Animation
If you need the Flash player to use the Food Safety Mobile Game or
other animated files on this site, you may obtain it from the
Macromedia Flash Player Download Center.
To Save a File or Image
To save a file or image, right-click over the link and choose "Save
Target As" (Internet Explorer) or "Save Link As" (Netscape or
Firefox) to download. You may also use the "Save" options on your
browser's File menu.

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.
