  2. What is PDF? • Portable Document Format • Files generally marked with the PDF icon: • PDF files appear on the Web, in the University of Phoenix Library, and on • You must have Adobe® Reader® installed on your computer before downloading a PDF file. • To open and read a PDF file, simply double click the file on your local computer (or open it from within Adobe® Reader®). Introduction to Adobe Reader

  3. Where Do I Get Adobe® Reader®? • It is available only from www.adobe.com • On the Web, you will see the following button on many sites. • Clicking on the button above will take you to the Adobe® Web site where you can download Adobe® Reader®. Introduction to Adobe Reader

  4. Download Adobe® Reader® from eCampus You will find a button on the eCampus DOWNLOADS page to obtain Adobe® Reader®. Introduction to Adobe Reader

  5. Open or Save When you see a PDF document on the Web, such as on this rEsourceSM page, click on it. (Click on the underlined link, not on the PDF icon.) Be sure you already have Adobe® Reader® 6.0 on your computer. When asked if you want to OPEN or SAVE the file, always choose SAVE. Then SAVE the PDF file to your local computer. If you OPEN the file, it takes longer, and you must OPEN the file again every time you want to read it. Your search (index) features are also limited if you OPEN instead of doing a SAVE. Introduction to Adobe Reader

  6. Print or View? On this rEsource page, the same reading material is available in two formats. It is wise to download BOTH formats, although you will have access to both versions as long as you are a student or faculty member at University of Phoenix. PRINT format is made specifically if you want to print out the reading material. It is typeset in commercial quality so it looks great on paper, but it is difficult to read on the screen. VIEW format is made specifically for viewing on a computer screen. You may change the style and size of the font. Adobe® Reader® will also read the text to you. Introduction to Adobe Reader

  7. Double click on the PDF file to open it. How to Open • When you SAVE the PDF file, be sure to note where you are saving it. • When you are ready to OPEN the file, locate the file where you saved it and double click on the file. • You can also open a PDF file from within Adobe® Reader®.

  11. Search Clicking the SEARCH button opens this search window where you can search this document or ALL PDF documents in a folder.
