USING THE .PDF FORMAT

 

 

            My Sunshine Guide files are all in the PDF format (.pdf).  This means that they can only be read if you have an Adobe Acrobat Reader (Version 5.0 or later) installed on your computer. 

 

          Most browsers already have this program, since so many web sites and documents are in this format (all of the IRS forms, for instance).  If you already have it, it will automatically load when you attempt to open the following sample file:

ASWAN

 

 

            If you don’t have it, you can download it for FREE at:

 

 

www.adobe.com

 

 

 

          If you have an earlier version of Acrobat Reader, such as 4.0 or earlier, you should save it to a removable format and then uninstall it from your hard drive.  Otherwise, you may end up with two operating versions, and your computer may use the wrong one to attempt to open a file.  The files simply won’t open with the earlier versions of Acrobat. 

 

NOTE:  When the time comes to print out the samples, make sure that all three of the following boxes are checked in the Acrobat Printer Screen:  (newer versions of Acrobat do this automatically): 

  

    [X] Shrink super-sized pages to paper size.

    [X] Expand small pages to paper size.  

    [X] Auto-rotate and center pages.
