PDF Document Help Page

Many of our documents are in the PDF format (identified with the file extension of .pdf). To view these documents, you will need to install a PDF document viewer (Acrobat Reader®) which is free of charge and can be obtained from the following location: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html

If you still have problems reading our PDF documents after installing Acrobat Reader®, it may be due to the size of the document and/or the speed of your Internet connection.

If this is the case, one way to get around this is to download the document to your local system, then use Acrobat Reader® to open it from there. To do this, right-click on the link to the document, then choose save and place it in a temporary directory on your local system. Load Acrobat Reader®, then open the saved document.
