What is Adobe Acrobat Reader?

Adobe Reader is software that allows you to read documents saved in the Adobe [.pdf] format.

Trouble reading, opening, or printing an Adobe file?

1. Right click on the link to the PDF (Mac users: Control+Click.)
2. Choose "Save Link as..." from the pop up menu (or "Save Target as...")
3. Save the PDF to your hard drive (remember where you are saving it and the name of the file.)
4. When the download is complete, find the downloaded file on your computer where you saved it.
5. Double click the file.
   (This should open the file with Adobe Reader, instead of using the Adobe plug-in.)
6. Read or print the file.

How do I install Adobe Acrobat Reader on Windows?

Download the file that fits your Operating System:

Windows Version	Best Adobe Reader Version
Windows Server 2003	Adobe Reader 7.0
Windows XP	Adobe Reader 7.0
Windows 2000	Adobe Reader 7.0
Windows 98 Second Edition	Adobe Reader 6.0.2 with 6.0.3 Update

On Windows, simply install Adobe Reader. The browser will detect the browser plugin if Adobe Reader is installed, and the Adobe Reader installer will install the plugin automatically if you install Adobe Reader.

If you are upgrading from Adobe Reader 6.0.x to Adobe Reader 7.0, uninstall any updates first, in order of installation, then uninstall Adobe Reader. This will ensure a clean upgrade to 7.0.
