Using Adobe Acrobat Reader

Some GenEdWeb courses deliver documents online using the Adobe Acrobat reader. The Acrobat reader allows documents to be displayed on a screen with their appearance exactly as created. Acrobat file names usually are identified with the .pdf extension.

To view Acrobat (.pdf) files, you must have the free Acrobat reader, available from Adobe:

Your version of the Acrobat reader must be 3.0 or above.

When you install the Acrobat reader, it should configure your copy of Netscape or Internet Explorer to launch it automatically whenever you click on an Acrobat file link. You can test your setup by clicking here. Your browser should launch the Acrobat reader, and you should see a copy of the UMM Application for Admission form.

When you have an Acrobat document open in the Acrobat reader, you have access to a number of tools on the button bar, including a printer button and zoom-in/zoom-out buttons.

If you have any problems, check the Adobe "Customer First Support" pages.
