View PDF files in WebCT

NOTE:  PDF format documents are usually large, so if you are on a slow connection line, it might take some time to open the document.  If you are having trouble viewing the documents, you can always come to campus and view them there.

Some course material will be in PDF format which requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in to be installed on your computer.  There are a couple of way to view the document, so follow these instructions.

First things first - You need the plug-in!

Most browsers come with this plug-in, so you should try opening the file first.  If you discover that you do need the plug-in, follow this link http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
