1. To view the .pdf ("portable document format") file you need to have "Adobe Acrobat" or other software installed on your computer (such as "Preview" that is included with Mac OS X) that displays PDF files.
2. This is a very common format, so you should already have this software on your computer, but in case you don't, here is the page to get a free copy of Adobe Acrobat reader.
3. Viewing a pdf file may take quite a long time, depending on the speed of your internet connection, as the file can be quite large if it includes multiple images. A broadband connection is necesssary to view book length pdf files.4. If nothing appears to happen when you attempt to view the pdf file, another possibility is that your browser is not configured correctly, so the pdf file could have been downloaded to your computer instead of being displayed. Check your desktop or download folder and if you find a .pdf file there, just double click on it to see the document, and then trash it when you are done.
5. If you still can't view the pdf file, send us an e-mail explaining exactly what you did and what problem you encountered.
6. For most of the pdf files at the CPRR Museum website, you can use the find command to locate text within the document. (In most cases, the document is searchable, even if displayed as images of the original pages!)
Thanks for visiting the CPRR Museum.
