PDFs
Many
of the documents that you can download from this resource are PDFs. To read them, you
will need a program like Acrobat Reader or a similar PDF program. You
can get a free copy of Acrobat Reader here (opens a new window). Depending
on the security settings on your computer, you may have to click the 'Active-X
control' bar at the top of your browser window before you will be able
to download and install Acrobat Reader.
Clicking on a PDF link will open the file in your browser window, where you can view or print the file.
If you click the PDF link with your right mouse button and choosed 'Save Target As...', you can save the PDF file to your computer, and view it later.
Adobe offers a PDF conversion service for users who cannot read PDFs. If you wish to use this, you should:
- download the relevant PDF (see the previous paragraph for how to download a PDF to your computer)
- email it as an attachment to pdf2html@adobe.com if you want it converted to html or to pdf2text@adobe.com if you want it converted to plain text. Alternatively, go to the Adobe 'online conversion tools' page and submit your request from there.
We are working our way through the PDFs attached to this site, tagging them to make them more accessible to people who use assistive technologies such as screen readers. Where we have done this, the link to the PDF says 'tagged PDF'.
Because many of the PDFs have been sent to us by other organisations, however, we have limited control over how acccessible they can be made. Furthermore, many are used are for illustration only and may not convert readily into very useful text. Where this is the case, we have indicated in the link that it is an 'untagged PDF'.
If you have had a PDF converted and it does not seem to make sense or is not tagged in a way that you can use, email Leila Carlyle, attaching the PDF or a link to it. We will either send you a text-only version or an explanation of what the PDF contains and its purpose in the resource.
