PDF files (Portable Document Format)

The PDF file format requires an application on your computer to view the downloaded file. These are often already on your computer but if you don't seem to be able to view the PDF file you might need to install Adobe Acrobat Reader.  You can find more information about this on the following webpage: http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/
