HOW TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE ADOBE ACROBAT READER
    To view articles from volumes 1 through 6 you need to obtain the free Adobe Acrobat Reader which allows you to view, navigate, and print files with the .pdf (Portable Document Format) extension. The Adobe Acrobat Home Page contains detailed information on this product, and allows you to download free copies of Acrobat for Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX systems.  Before installing Acrobat Reader, please verify that your system meets these requirements.

    Configure your Adobe Acrobat Reader as a plug-in application for your World Wide Web browser

    We suggest that you configure your Adobe Acrobat Reader as a plug-in application for your World Wide Web browser. This can be accomplished with Adobe Acrobat Reader version 3.0 or higher, and Netscape (2.0 or higher), Internet Explorer (3.0 or higher), or compatible browsers. This allows the reader software to integrate closely with the browser and allows you to begin to read the PDF file while it is downloading. Version 3.0 or higher of the Adobe Acrobat reader also permits reading of PDF pages side-by-side. 

    If you have an Internet browser installed on your system at the time that you install Adobe Acrobat, it should automatically install itself as a helper application in the browsr. You will know that it is properly installed as a helper application if you can view the PDF file in the browser window, with a single row of special Acrobat buttons along the top of the viewing screen. 

    If Acrobat does not install itself automatically as a helper application for your web browser, you can also do this manually by copying the appropriate file to your browser’s Plug-in folder. 

    To manually install the Web browser plug-in (Windows): 

    1. Open File Manager or Windows Explorer. 
    2. Locate the Acrobat3\Read16\Browser folder (or Acrobat\Read32\Browser). 
    3. Copy the NPPDF32.dll or NPPDF16.dll file to your Web browser’s Plug-in folder. 


    To install the Web browser plug-in (Macintosh): 

    1. Open the Web Browser Plug-in folder within the Adobe Acrobat 3.0 folder. 
    2. Copy the PDFViewer plug-in to your Web browser’s Plug-in folder. 


    To install the Web browser plug-in (UNIX): 

    Run <installdir>/Browsers/netscape.
