How
to download PDF documents
Some of the publications on the CASLPA web site are available
in Adobe® Portable Document Format (PDF). PDF
allows for a cross-platform PostScript-based file containing
any combination of text, graphics and images. If you do not
want to read the document on-line, you can download and save
the complete file for later use.
To download a PDF file, you have to click on the link beside
the PDF icon: 
A dialog box from your browser will appear asking you if you
want to save the file. Specify where you want the file saved
for future reference. Also beside every icon, the size of the
file is specified to let you know how long a file can take to
download. Remember that depending on the speed of your modem,
internet traffic and your internet provider, the download time
can vary.
Once the file is on your local drive, you can view, navigate
or print the documents using Adobe Acrobat® software.
If you do not have this software, a copy of Acrobat Reader®
or Exchange® is required. Adobe Reader®
software is available for no-charge in various languages
as well as operating systems including; Windows 3.1 and 95,
Macintosh, and UNIX. Documentation for installation and operating
requirements of Acrobat® is included with the
software.
Once the software is installed, you can view the PDF file by
opening it in Acrobat Reader®.
Please consult the various information provided with Acrobat
Reader® or the Adobe® web site
for any problems/questions you may have.
Acrobat Reader® 3.x features a "PDFViewer"
plug-in compatible with both Netscape Navigator 3.x and above
and Internet Explorer 3.x and above that allows for PDF viewing
in your web browser window. See the Online guide under the help
menu in Acrobat Reader® for more information.
Printing
PDF documents are easy to print. Using the print dialogue box
in Acrobat Reader® you can choose to print the
whole document or any selected pages within the document.
