The lecture outlines are in Adobe Acrobat® file format. To read
Adobe Acrobat® files the web browser you are using must have the Adobe
Acrobat Reader available. On most computers, if the Reader is present,
as you attempt to download the Acrobat file, the Adobe Reader will self-launch
and you will see the contents of the file shortly. On other computers a
dialog box will open that gives you the option of opening the file you
are downloading; you should select that option and the Adobe Acrobat Reader
will then open the file in the browser window. If opening the file
in the browser is not an option provided by the browser's dialog box, but
saving it is, save it to the hard disk and remember which folder or directory
you placed it in. If you can find the Adobe Acrobat Reader on the
computer, open it and click on the File menu, then on Open, and then select
the lecture outline file you downloaded (it will have a .pdf extension
in its name). If you cannot find the Adobe Reader on your computer,
go here
and download the reader that is appropriate for your platform (Windows
or McIntosh, depending on the type of computer you are using). Follow
the directions for installing the software. Once the software is
installed you can launch the Acrobat Reader and use it to open the Acrobat
(.pdf) files and it should lauch automatically when your browser encounters
Acrobat files.
