How to open a PDF file

  1. Double-click on a PDF file

 

You can also download a PDF from a site. When you do that, it automatically opens.

NOTE: if you try to open a PDF and it says it cannot find a program to open it or wants you to select a program, you probably do not have Adobe Reader installed. If that is the case, you will need to install it. For assistance with that, click here.
