Acrobat Help

If you are having difficulty with Acrobat Reader (i.e., you can't see the solutions to the problems when you click on them), you can try one of the following:

• In the computer labs on campus, Acrobat can be quickly installed with the following steps. 
  • First, click on the windows "START" button, and then on the icon/folder labeled "Utilities." This should pop-up an option/icon for "Acrobat."  Select this.
  • The Acrobat program should install on the machine automatically if it isn't there already. The computer might make a beep or suggest an error, but just click "Ok". Acrobat should open.  You can leave it open or close it.
  • Now, when you surf the web and click on an Acrobat file, it should open automatically in the web browser. You shouldn't have to install Acrobat again on that particular computer.  The computers in the science lab are new and very fast (compared to my office machine), and I found that the solutions would load virtually instantaneously.
• From your home computer, download Acrobat Reader for free here.  Follow the instructions and prompts.  You don't need to add any of the additional features that you might be offered.
• You are always welcome to contact me for help and/or alternative formats.  If the Acrobat version of solutions causes too many problems, I will start posting them in other formats.  The advantage of the Acrobat documents is that they separate nicely into normal sized pages and can be printed appropriately.
