In order to serve you better, the Eldorado National Forest web site uses
PDF technology. The PDF file format allows us to save offical documents,
announcements, maps and brochures into one common format that is downloadable
by anyone.
This format can be viewed within your browser, or for best results,
printed out on your home printer. Any printout that you make using our
PDF files will look exactly like our originals! It's like we mailed you
the documents directly, except that you didn't have to wait for our delays
and the mail! You can save the PDF file to your computer for later viewing,
and you can print as many copies as you want.
PDF does have one requirement: viewer/plug-in software. This software
allows your browser to be able to "understand" PDF; without
it your browser wouldn't know PDF from Smokey Bear!
That brings us to another reason for using PDF: the viewer/plug-in software
is FREE, and may even be on your computer already! To download
the software now, one free source is the Adobe
Acrobat Reader site.
