- Instructions for Viewing/Downloading PDFs Free software for viewing and printing Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Created from applications like Adobe Acrobat

The DrHawke.com site contains links to several files in Portable Document Format (PDF).

These files are universally readable on any platform but require a software utility called Acrobat Reader, available FREE from Adobe. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 or higher on your local drive, download it now by clicking on the "Get Acrobat Reader" icon at the upper right.

Some DrHawke.com links go to Acrobat PDF files of varying size and are identified as PDFs, with file size indicated in most cases. Remember that the time it takes to view/download a PDF generally correlates with file size. You may either view a file within your browser (if your browser is already configured with the Acrobat Reader plug-in) or save a file to your hard drive. Saving a larger file to your hard drive might be the better option, particularly if you do not have a fast Internet connection. To save a file to your hard drive, click on the link with the right mouse button (PC) and choose the "Save Target As" option. Then simply open the file from your hard drive.
