About
Adobe portable data format ('pdf')
It
is often more convenient to download a technical document or a product
bulletin onto your computer allowing you to study it at your leisure,
rather than read it on the web. At Webtec we are actively converting much
of our technical literature into portable data format (pdf). The format
created by Adobe, allows anyone to view and print technical documents
on their computer without influencing the layout, regardless of the platform
they are using. All you need to view a 'pdf' file is a copy of Adobe Acrobat
Reader® that you can download for free from the Adobe site. Once
you have a copy of the programme you will find many instances where 'pdf'
versions of technical literature and instruction manuals are available,
both on and off the web.
How
do I download a free copy of Acrobat Reader®?
How
do I download a 'pdf' document?
When
you click on a link to a 'pdf' file your computer will automatically start
downloading the file using 'file transfer protocol' (ftp). Before the
document is saved a window will usually appear (depending on your browser)
asking you to enter the name of the folder where you want to save the
file. Once the file has been downloaded use Acrobat Reader® to view
and print the document.
How
long does it take to download a 'pdf' document?
All
pdf documents are listed along with their file size in kilobytes and their
approximate download time, based on an average baud rate of 33,600 bits/sec.
Exact download time will vary according to your connection speed.
