- What
is a PDF file?
A Portable Document Format (PDF) file is a self-contained, cross-platform
document. In plain language, it is a file that will look the same on
the screen and in print, regardless of what kind of computer or printer
someone is using and regardless of what software package was originally
used to create it.
Although they contain the complete formatting of the original document,
including fonts and images, PDF files are highly compressed, allowing
complex information to be downloaded efficiently and quickly.
- How
to Download the Software
Virtually anyone - including Windows, DOS, Macintosh, SUN, and UNIX
system users - can view and print a PDF file using the free Acrobat® Reader.
- The following address
provides all of the options needed to download and install the software.
Be sure to note that Adobe includes a checkbox
below the platform choice that provides the option to download a version
offering accessibility for the visually impaired.

- How
to View PDF Files
Once the Acrobat® Reader software is properly installed, you just need to click on a link
to a ".pdf" file and it will be loaded for viewing on your
computer. Note that the file is sent to your computer as a temporary
file that will be deleted when you exit your browser. On the Texas Parks
and Wildlife Department Web site, PDF files are indicated as (PDF)
following the document name and/or by the PDF icon symbol: .
- How
to Print PDF Files
When printing Acrobat®
PDF files from within
your browser, do NOT use
the web browser print menu. Instead, use the print button at the left
end of the special Acrobat®
toolbar,
which appears immediately above the viewing window.
- How
to Save PDF Files
If you wish to save the PDF document after opening it for viewing, click
on the disk file icon at the left end of the special
Acrobat®
toolbar,
which appears immediately above the viewing window. A "Save
as" window opens with a ".pdf" in the file
name box. Select a location to save it and give it a name and press
okay.

illustrations below for locations of "SAVE" and "PRINT" buttons in Acrobat Reader.
