| Reading a PDF | Changing text size | A map of this website |
A PDF is a special document format that allows you to download and read brochures, reports and other documents easily and securely. A PDF is a 'locked' document that does not allow readers to make changes in it without special third-party software.
PDFs can be opened with a number of programmes, but Adobe, the creators of the PDF, offer a free reader.
You can download it here.
If you want to make the text bigger or smaller, you need to alter the text sizes within your browser (the piece of software that enables you to see the internet).
If you are using Internet Explorer (5.0 and above):
Choose, from the 'Tools' menu on the main toolbar, the menu item 'Internet Options'.
Under the 'General' tab, choose the 'Accessibility' button.
Check the box in front of 'Ignore font sizes specified in Web pages' option.
Choose 'OK'.
Further adjustments can be made to the text size by choosing the menu 'View' on the main toolbar, then 'Text Sizing'. Select which size you prefer.
In Netscape Navigator:
From the 'Edit' menu on the main toolbar, choose 'Preferences'.
From the left tree menu, choose 'Appearance', then 'Fonts',
Check the radio button in front of the 'Use my default fonts, overriding document-specified fonts' option.
Choose 'OK'.
Further adjustments can be made to the text size by choosing View on the main toolbar, then selecting 'Increase Font' or 'Decrease Font'.
