Using
PDF documents
It's
easy to download the documents we have provided in Portable
Document Format (PDF). You can view them on your screen or
print your own paper copies. For best results and maximum
accessibility, please use the latest version (6.0) of Acrobat
Reader. It is available FREE at the page below.
-
If you already have the Acrobat Reader, simply click the
link to the PDF file. The Acrobat Reader program will open
the document.
-
If you need to print the document or form, click the Acrobat
Reader's "Print" button. (Do NOT use your web
browser's "Print" command.) Your printed copy
will have the same formatting as the original document.

If you need to download the free Acrobat Reader software,
visit the "Download
Adobe Acrobat Reader” page and follow the steps

If
you are using a screen reader and are blind
or visually impaired, you may download the Adobe Access
plug-in at no charge. This program allows you to convert
a PDF file to a simple HTML or ASCII text file which is accessible
to most screen readers.
