Getting Adobe Acrobat Reader to View and Print PDF Files

Some of the files on this site are provided in Portable Document Format (PDF). These files can only be viewed by users who have special PDF reader software installed on their computers.

Adobe Acrobat Reader, produced by Adobe Systems Incorporated, is one application that allows users to view PDF files. By linking to the Adobe Acrobat Web site, the Statistical Research & Applications Branch is not endorsing its products and services, and is not responsible for the content of the site. Other PDF reader software is available for those who choose not to use Acrobat Reader.

To install Acrobat, visit Adobe Acrobat's download Web page and follow the instructions on the site. During installation, Acrobat will integrate ("plug-in") with your Web browser (Netscape, Internet Explorer, etc.). That is, Acrobat will automatically start when you open a PDF file by clicking the filename.
