Adobe Acrobat PDF Documents

• These files are indicated by a  icon and have a .pdf extension. Adobe Acrobat files require you to have the Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer before you can read them. If you are working on a 'standalone' computer (normally one which is not on a 'client-server' network) then you may be able to install the Acrobat Reader. If you are on a client-server network then speak to your network manager and ask if s/he can install it for you. If your school is supported by School IT Systems Support then you can view the Helpdesk contact information on this site.

Get Acrobat Reader

• If you want to download Adobe Acrobat Reader click on the icon on the right. This will take you to the Adobe web site where you will get instructions on how to download and install Acrobat Reader, which is available for both Windows PCs and Apple Macintosh computers.
• You will be able to print out Adobe Acrobat documents, but you will not be able to edit them. Acrobat format is used when information has to be 'set in stone' - with a price list in Word format anyone could edit it to change the prices, but with the same document in Acrobat format the document is printable but not editable.
