Sometimes you click a link on this web site and either nothing happens, or your browser pops up an error message saying you need a plugin. When the link ends with ".pdf", the problem could well be your browser does not have the PDF plugin loaded. You can choose to download the file to your hard disk (see To download PDF files) or you can install the plug-in to read and print it with your browser (see To view PDF files with a browser, below).

To view PDF files with a browser:
(1) Download the most recent Acrobat Reader from Adobe's site. It's free. The URL is: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html

(2) Install the downloaded Reader, which should also install the Web Browser Plug-in into your browser's Plug-ins directory.

The automatic installation of the plug-in is not always successful. To install it by hand, copy the files from your Acrobat Reader's "Web Browser Plug-in" directory into your browser's "Plug-ins" directory and restart the browser.

To download PDF files:
(on a PC)
(1) Right-click the link and then choose Save Target As from the pop-up menu.

(2) In the Save As dialog box, select a location on your hard drive, and then click Save.

(on a Mac)
(1) Control-click the link and then choose Save Link Document As the pop-up menu.
