PDF Files


Many web sites provide copies of documents in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. To view PDF files, you will need to install the Adobe Acrobat Reader software on your computer. Acrobat Reader is available for a wide variety of platforms from Adobe Systems Incorporated. ("Adobe" is a registered trademark of Adobe Systems Incorporated.)

Adobe offers services through Access.Adobe.Com to provide access for blind and visually impaired users to any document in Adobe PDF format. PDF documents are converted into simple HTML or ASCII text which can then be read by a number of common screen reading programs that synthesize the HTML as audible speech.

You may also wish to use the online conversion tools for Adobe PDF documents, which include Adobe conversion by email attachment, and Adobe conversion by simple form.
