PDF General info
Documents on the internet are frequently in portable document format (PDF) and most people have the software to read these already installed on the computer. If you don’t have it you can download it for free. It is called Adobe Reader and is totally free to you. However, it is a large file and will be a long download if you have a slow connection. Be sure you get Adobe Reader since there are other options on the download page. The Adobe page will open in a new window if you click here for the ADOBE site.
Foxit Reader is a good alternative PDF reader. I used it when my old computer wouldn’t run ADOBE. It is also a free download and a fraction of the size of Adobe Reader (and faster PC magazine says). If you’d like to try it, visit Foxit Software.
