Reader for reading .pdf (Portable Definition
Format) files
If
your computer won't open the pdf version of the Newsletter, you need Reader software
- a freely available safe piece of standard software which you can download
here. Please read all these instructions before proceeding.
We've
changed to the FOXIT Reader instead of Adobe Acrobat Reader because it's
very much quicker and has other features. If you have Adobe Acrobat Reader
already, you may still wish to try this.
Note
- the SARS has standardised on the latest version of Adobe Acrobat
Reader, so do NOT switch to Foxit if you
want to use SARS efiling.
The
download will take a while if you are using a dial-up connection, so be patient.
> Right click on the underlined
words Download
pdf Reader below.
>
Your Windows or other software may warn you that the file is not safe to download.
It's running on several U3A Members' machines quite happily so you can safely
ignore this warning.
> When prompted, save the file [called FoxitReader_Setup.exe] to
your C:\Program Files folder, or any other convenient place.
>Close
all your windows.
>Go
to the folder where you saved it, (using My Computer or
My Documents or Windows Explorer),
> Click on FoxitReader_Setup.exe
and the program will install itself in a new folder in Program Files on your
C drive.
It will also become the default software to open any pdf file.
