Adobe Acrobat files are "final-form portable document format" (PDF) files. You can read or print these files using special reader software, available for free for use on DOS, Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX systems. The files are fully formatted, many with illustrations, special fonts, etc.
While you cannot modify these files, you can transfer text from them to other Windows applications using the Windows clip board. We recommend that you configure your Web browser to automatically launch the Acrobat Reader when it downloads files with a PDF extension. If you are using a current version of Netscape with Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0 or better, do not configure the reader as a Netscape helper application. Instead, choose Netscape as the web browser in the Weblink options within the Acrobat Reader. This will give you much better integration of the reader with your web browser.
