HOW CAN I ACCESS ADOBE ACROBAT (PDF) FILES?

The files are read using the Acrobat Reader. This is widely available on both PCs and Macs. Normally if you have this on your machine then it will run automatically and open the file.
If it is on your machine but does not recognise these files, then you might try opening Acrobat Reader first and then select "File: Open", select the file you want to open and 99 times out of 100 it will open fine.
If you do not have Acrobat Reader on your machine you can obtain a copy (free of cost) from adobe (click the Acrobat icon below)

The free Adobe Acrobat Reader allows you to view, navigate, and print PDF files across all major computing platforms.

HOW CAN I PRINT THESE FILES?
You simply select print from within Acrobat, and follow your normal printing approach. Depending on your printer/computer configuration, you may need to select the button that scales the page to fit your printer ("Scale to fit"). This will prevent footers or side bars being cut off.
The files are set up for double paged/back to back printing. If you are doing single page this will mean that the page numbering and other formatting will be a little strange (but it makes sense if you are planning to print off and then have multiple back to back copies made of the documents).

The set up and running of Acrobat is explained in the download and only takes a few minutes.

To view zipped files, Winzip is required.
You can download this software from the Winzip website (click the icon).
