| Many of the documents published on the Walter H. Drane website are in Adobe's Acrobat portable document format (*.pdf). To view or print these documents you will need the free Adobe's Acrobat Reader. |  |
The Adobe Acrobat Reader is freeware software that can be downloaded from the
Adobe website.
Acrobat Readers are available for various operating systems including Microsoft Windows,
MS-DOS and Apple Macintosh systems. You can use the Acrobat Reader as a
'stand-alone' application, or integrate the reader with your Web Browser
application.
"My Acrobat Reader is integrated with my Internet Browser"
| Viewing PDF files Use the left mouse button to select a PDF file. The document will open within your browser window, just like a regular web page. Depending on the actual size of Acrobat file, displaying the first page of the Acrobat file may take a little longer to open than you would normally expect from a regular web page (*.htm or *.html). |
|
| Saving PDF Files To save a file using an integrated browser, you will need to follow a different approach than you may be accustomed to: 1.Use the right mouse button to select a PDF file. 2.From the pop-up menu, select 'Save Target As...'. 3.Select a disk drive and folder to store the Acrobat PDF file. 4.Click the 'Save' button. |
|
| PLEASE NOTE: Using the 'Save As...' option from the 'File' menu in your browser window will only save the HTML 'shell' in which the PDF file is displayed in your browser window: i.e. If you try to use the Acrobat Reader to (re-)open the files again, you will typically get an error message, similar to 'There was an error opening this document. A file read error has occurred'. | |
My Acrobat Reader is a stand-alone application
This is typically the case when you run the MS-DOS version of the Acrobat Reader
