Adobe/Acrobat .PDF Reader Software

Information is often published on the web in "Portable Document Format" -- i.e., as ".pdf" documents. Your computer likely already has the ability to read .pdf documents using a version of the Adobe/Acrobat .PDF reader software. We have found that only version 7 and higher of this software operates reliably on WindowsXP systems.

To install or upgrade your copy of this important software, visit the Adobe web site at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html or click on the "Get Reader" logo shown above. (The toolbar or album add-ons are not required.)

If you have problems, especially if you are using version 6 or lower, please see our Adobe Problems page at http://nurseweb.ucsf.edu/www/adobe-problems.htm (website).
