Portable Document Format (.pdf Files)
|
PDF is a file format that preserves the fonts, colors, and graphics of the
original file.
When you click on the .pdf file link, a download window from your browser
will open. Enter the directory path where the .pdf file is to be saved.
(For example: /home/computername/username/... wherever you want to put
the file being downloaded.)

To read .pdf files, you will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in, in
conjuction with your favorite web browser. You can download the Adobe
plug-in at no charge from
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/main.html .
Once the file has been opened using the Acrobat program, it can be sent
directly to the printer.
The Adobe Acrobat Reader will work with most commonly used browsers, including
Netscape (Macintosh, PC, Unix) and Internet Explorer (Macintosh, PC).
The instructions for installing and using the Acrobat reader are on the
Adobe page linked above. All UCSD campus computer labs run by ACS have the
plug-ins installed. |
