Adobe Acrobat PDF files

Portable Document Format (PDF) files are designed to present information in a printer-friendly version. If you are using a Windows based machine you will need a PDF reader on your computer to open these files. You can download a copy from the Adobe Acrobat web site. Or browse for a PDF reader from a list.

We try to optimise and improve the accessibility of PDFs found on our web site to reach the widest possible audience. Recent versions of Adobe Acrobat have improved accessibility options. However, PDFs may not be readily accessible to screen readers used by some visually impaired users. The following tools can be used to convert PDF documents into plain text or plain HTML documents.
