Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF)

The FCC has added a Portable Document Format (PDF)
option to the list of file formats that it offers for
selected documents posted on the FCC web site.
Documents saved as PDF files retain all of
the formatting of the original document including
fonts, footnotes, headers, footers, and graphics.
These documents can be viewed, navigated, searched,
and printed from any Windows, DOS, UNIX,MAC, or OS-2
platform that has Acrobat reader software (free
from Adobe Systems, Inc.) installed and configured for
use with the browser.

To view PDF files you must first download  the free
Acrobat Reader Software for your particular platform
from Adobe's Web Site at 

http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/readstep.html

The downloaded file will be a self-extracting file
that will expand into several separate files when you
double-click on it's filename. One of the resulting
files will be named setup.exe. To install the reader
on your system simply double-click on this file and
follow the on-screen instructions.

NOTE: If you're using Windows from a network,
ask your network administrator if the reader has already been
installed and where it's located (it's directory
path). If it's not already installed,ask your network
administrator to install the network
administrator's version on the network first, since
Acrobat needs access to Windows directories during
installation (normal users probably will not
have write permissions to Windows system files on the
network).

Once you've downloaded and installed the reader you
may need to configure it as a browser plug-in or
helper application so that you can view any PDF file
on the Internet automatically by clicking on
its hotlink (just as you would any other web page
link).  After this one-time setup, you can
automatically view any PDF format document.
