Download help

PDF files are a printed document, an exact copy of a file. How you see the document is just how the creator saw it on their screen, no matter what kind of computing device is used that has a suitable PDF viewer.
PDFs are created using the program Adobe Acrobat; either from a single document or from multiple files of various types (e.g. reports, spreadsheets, graphs, web pages, Flash animation, even AutoCAD drawings). They are usually small in file size, easy to download as a single file.
To view PDF files you need the Adobe Reader program, the latest version can be freely downloaded from the Adobe website.
