The PDF file format
TNT product Documentation for Acrobat Reader
Some of the files available for download or
viewing from MicroImages are the in the Portable Document Format,
or .PDF. This is a popular format for distributing documents on the
Internet because it allows greater control in formatting and document layout
than does HTML, while maintaining a platform-independent solution to
formatting.
In order to read documents in this format, you will need special software that
is available for free on the Internet, and is also often seen on CD-ROMs that
have documents in the PDF format. You can download Adobe Systems' free Acrobat®
Reader :
Viewing
PDF Documents on the Web
With Adobe Acrobat® Reader and the
most recent version of Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet
Explorer, you can view PDF files directly in your browser window. When you
click on a link whose target is a PDF file, the browser downloads the file in
a page-at-a-time fashion. This means that you can start viewing the first page
(or pages) while the rest of the pages are being downloaded in the background.
If you already have a current browser, you simply need to download
Adobe Acrobat Reader
(if you don't have it
already). It is freely available via Internet download or you can also find it
on many CDs distributed with books or software.
What if I just want to download the file?
By default, during a page-at-a-time download, Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0
displays the first page in your browser window, and then continues to download
the rest of the PDF file in the background. However, the PDF file is not saved
to your disk unless you explicitly save the file. You may want to save PDF
files to your local hard drive so you can can peruse them offline. To do this,
simply use your browser's "Save As" feature usually located under the "File"
in the menu bar after you have the document in your viewing window.
