    Once you have saved it and at the point you decide to read it, can you
read it?  Do you then have to convert it to a particular application so you
will be able to read it?  Is that even a possibility?

I find downloading a PDF file involves two possible situations. either you
are prompted to save or else the file opens up for you. In this second case,
it isn't always readable. You can still save it to your system by pressing
the applications key (left of your right control key) and arrowing down to
the save option.

 

either way, once you are prompted to save, you'll be presented with a dialog
that includes a choice of where to save. I choose "My documents" for this
purpose, but you can put it anywhere you like, so long as you'll remember.

 

Once saved, clicking on the file should bring up Adobe.

G.W.,

 

Thanks for the below.

 

When I downloaded Adobe Reader 9.3 from the website, I was informed that I
already had Acrobat.  I was asked which one I wanted to run.

I chose Adobe Reader.

 

Sure enough, when I later checked All Programs, there was Acrobat in my
computer but not installed.

I only need to download PDF files from the web and read them.

So Adobe Reader should meet my needs.

 

After I downloaded a PDF file, I couldn?t find it.  I finally discovered it
in my History List.  I was able to read the file.

 

At another time, I wanted to read the file again.  When I went back to my
History List, JAWS wouldn?t read the file, but instead, JAWS crashed.

 

Simple question:  After I download a PDF file, do I need to Save it in
Internet Explorer under File menu?

 

Becky

Straight from the Adobe mouth at
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/reader.html

"What's the difference between Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader?

 

Adobe® Acrobat® and Adobe Reader® software are separate products, though
very complementary.

 

Adobe Acrobat 9 helps you communicate and collaborate more easily and
securely using PDF, the standard for electronic document exchange. Create
and reliably
share PDF documents and forms, help protect and control sensitive
information, safeguard your work, and communicate exactly as you intended.

 

Adobe Reader is the global standard for viewing PDF files. It is the only
PDF viewer that can open and interact with all PDF documents. Use Adobe
Reader
to view, search, digitally sign, verify, print, and collaborate on PDF
files.
