Portable Document Format (PDF) files allow you to view electronic documents as they would appear on paper. SMART provides PDF files so you can easily print a document or distribute it via e-mail. PDF files are viewed using a program called Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Adobe Acrobat Reader may already be installed on your computer. When you click a PDF link, Acrobat Reader should start automatically or appear embedded in your Web browser window.

If Acrobat Reader is not installed on your computer, bookmark this page and visit Adobe to download the free plugin. Once you've downloaded and installed the Reader, simply click on any of the PDF links.


Windows: Right-click on the file link. When the pop-up menu appears, choose "Save This Link As..." or "Save Target As..." from the menu. A dialog box will appear. Enter a file path where you would like to save the file and then click the Save button. By default Internet Explorer and Netscape save downloaded files to pre-set directories or folders. Be sure to check your default location or remember the file path you entered.

Macintosh: Click and hold your mouse button on the file link. When the pop-up menu appears choose "Save This Link As..." or "Download Link To Disk..." from the menu. A dialog box will appear. Choose where you would like the file saved then click the Save button. If you require assistance, contact info@smarttech.com
