After Acrobat Reader is installed, you can view PDF documents. Simply clicking on a link to a PDF document will open it up in your browser. Compared to web pages, PDF documents can take a longer time to download and display. When you click on a link to the document, it may seem like nothing is happening while in fact the document is being downloading behind the browser. Sometimes, especially when it is a large documents, it is a good idea to save the document to your computer first, and then view the document from your computer, as opposed to viewing it online. To do this:
- Right-click on the document, choose “Save As”, and save it somewhere on your computer (i.e. ‘Desktop’ or ‘My Documents’)
- Then locate the document on your computer, click or double-click on it, and it will automatically be displayed through Acrobat Reader
