About the documents on this site

The documents on this site are available for viewing or downloading in Adobe's portable document format (PDF). In order to read PDF documents, you will need to have Adobe's free Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. Other files are offered as ZIP files or self-extracting ZIP files. These files are compressed to reduce the download time into a ZIP compressed format. Windows users can download a free copy of WinZip to extract the contents of the files. Macintosh, Linux, or Windows users can use Stuffit to also extract the contents of the ZIP files.

Viewing versus downloading PDF files

When installing Adobe's Acrobat Reader you can choose whether or not to integrate it with your browser. If you choose to install the reader with browser integration, the documents will be viewed directly in your browser when you click on the link. Some of the documents are quite large however and you may wish to download them instead. To override the default behaviour of the browser integration, Windows users can right click on the link and choose the option 'Save Target As...'.
