Portable Document Format Software

PDF documents can be read on any computer with a PDF reader installed, and they always look the same regardless of where they are viewed. Most of our online documentation is in PDF format. Note: Mac OS X has PDF creation built in, under the Print menu.

Adobe Reader

This free program is required to read our online documentation. Download and run the appropriate installer. Note: This program only allows you to read PDF documents, not create them.

PDF Creator

This is a free program to create PDFs from other document formats, such as Microsoft Word or Web pages. This program installs a "virtual" printer. To create a PDF, choose to Print your document, select the printer and follow any prompts.
