Viewing PDFs

To view .pdf files located on Internet web sites, you may need to configure your browser appropriately. For example, if ActiveX is disabled, Internet Explorer will not display .pdf files inside the browser. If this is the case, you should configure Internet Explorer to call Acrobat Viewer as a helper application. Procedures for configuring web browsers for viewing .pdf files are documented on the following web page:
