| Saving Acrobat PDF files |
To view an Adobe Acrobat PDF file you will need the Acrobat Reader from Adobe,
which is available for free from
Adobe's website.
|
| |
| Here we will cover the different PDF saving options within the AIM Manual. |

B. Saving AIM Manual Pages from the table of contents
C. Saving AIM Manual Pages from individual web pages |
| |
A. Saving the entire AIM Manual
To save the entire AIM Manual in PDF form you must first click on the "Download AIM Manual"
tab as shown in FIG. 1.
|
 |
| |
| Once the download page is open, you will see two choices, as shown in FIG. 2.
The first choice is instructions on how to SAVE the PDF file. The second choice displays instructions
on how to VIEW the PDF file.
|
 |
| To save the PDF click
on the link with the right mouse button (On a Mac hold down the "Ctrl" key on the keyboard and click
on the link with the mouse button). A small pop-up box will appear, you will want to select
"Save Target As...". If you are using Netscape you will want to choose "Save Link As...". Once you

B. Saving AIM Manual Pages from the table of contents
You can also save PDFs for AIM Manual pages as they are grouped by
subject in the table of contents. In FIG. 4 the PDF icon is highlighted. This icon is a link to a PDF file
that contains the page or pages listed just to the right of the icon. To save the PDF click
on the icon with the right mouse button. (On a Mac hold down the "Ctrl" key on the keyboard and click
on the link with the mouse button.) A small pop-up box will appear, you will want to select
"Save Target As...". If you are using Netscape you will want to choose "Save Link As...". Once you
have chosen this you will get a Save As dialog box (see FIG. 3) that will allow you to choose
the location on your computer where you would like to save the PDF to. Choose your location and
click on the "Save" button. |
