Accessibility
Use the links below to locate and download some popular viewers and helper applications for file types you may find on this website. Installing a viewer on your computer will allow you to view files (with filename extensions like .doc, .ppt, .xls, .pdf, etc.) when you don’t have the software that was used to create the files. Most of these links are to non-government sources. The federal government does not endorse any of these products; they are listed below for the convenience of our visitors. Address questions about the particular plug-in or file viewer to the respective vendor.
