Acrobat Reader Viewing & Navigation Tools - How to Use Them

 

PDF stands for Portable Document Format. Adobe created Acrobat Reader as a Viewer for publications that are created in .pdf. These documents can be viewed on PC or Mac computers. The text, graphics and photos will appear and print just as they were created, and are not dependent on the fonts & settings of the computer that is being used for viewing.

 

 

What is the Difference in Viewing On-Line & Downloading a .pdf File ?

Viewing - a .pdf document On-Line, is when Acrobat Reader will open in the window of your browser, and display the document.

You can navigate, view, and print the document directly from the Internet.

You can also Save the .pdf Document to your hard drive by using the Save As... Command in the File Menu of your Browser.

Downloading - a .pdf document File can be done directly from the website to your computer without viewing it on-line.

Selecting a Downloadable File will bring up a window in your screen that will ask you where you want the file to be saved on your hard drive.

You can go directly to that location on your hard drive and, at a later time, view the file in Acrobat Reader, at your convenience.
