Our newsletter for download is saved as Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format) file. These files can be view with the FREE Adobe Acrobat Reader, version 4.0 and higher. The file size is noted at the end of the link so you can estimate your download time.
If you click on a PDF link and nothing happens, check to see if you have a pop-up blocker enabled on your machine. (The PDF files are all set up to open in a second browser window.) Instead of clicking on the link to open it, try right-clicking on the pattern link and then choosing the "save" option. After the file has been saved to you computer, you should be able to double-click on it to open it.
If you are on modem or have a slow Internet connection, you may need to turn off your screen saver before saving the file so that there are no interruptions during the saving process. Saving a PDF File to Your Computer
Viewing Problems
If your computer is locking up, you only see a blank white screen, or you see strange symbols instead of regular text and graphics, there may be a problem in how your computer is trying to open the PDF.
Try saving the file first and then opening it up directly in Adobe Acrobat, rather than in your web browser. Saving a PDF File to Your Computer
