Some documents on the NCCIC Web site are available in Adobe's proprietary Portable Document Format (PDF). Many people prefer PDF documents to html Web pages because the PDF documents preserve the look and feel of the original print documents. They are also very convenient for printing.
However, to view these PDF documents or files, you will need to have the Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. The free-of-charge Adobe Acrobat Reader is available from the Adobe Web site.
Download Adobe Reader
- Please follow the instructions on the Adobe Acrobat download page for installing the Acrobat Reader.
- View Adobe's Customer First Support page for more information.
- Refer all questions about Acrobat Reader, including how to create and view PDF files, to Adobe Customer Support.
This process basically involves filling out some forms (e.g., you need to identify your operating system, i.e, Windows 2000) and then selecting "download." A pop-up box will appear with the filename of the Adobe Acrobat Reader installer and with the folder structure of your computer. Scroll through the folders and choose the folder (probably a temporary or test folder) where you want to save the Adobe Acrobat Reader installer.
Close out any programs you have running on your computer. Then scroll to the folder where you saved the Adobe Acrobat Reader installer. Select the installer (by double-clicking on it). The Adobe Acrobat Reader setup program will automatically install the software. You will need to answer a few questions (such as the drive and folder on your computer where you want to put the Adobe Acrobat Reader program) as the setup proceeds. When installation is complete (just a few minutes), you don't need to do anything more.
