1.2.2 Using the PDF Documentation

The PDF files are appropriate for viewing and printing with Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is available for most Linux/UNIX and Windows systems. These files are distinguished by a .pdf suffix in their file names.

If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can download it (at no cost) from www.adobe.com.

Navigating the PDF Files

For the purpose of easier on-line document navigation, the PDF files contain hyperlinks in the table of contents and index. In addition, hyperlinks have been applied to all cross-references to chapters, sections, figures, tables, bibliography, and index entries.

Printing the PDF Files

Adobe Acrobat PDF files are provided for printing all or part of the manuals. While you can also print individual HTML pages from your browser, the PDF files are recommended when printing long sections since the printout will have a higher quality.

Note that you can select the paper size to which you are printing in Adobe Acrobat Reader by selecting the File/Print Setup... menu item and choosing the desired Paper size. If the page is too large to fit on your paper size, you can reduce it by selecting the File/Print... menu item and choosing the Reduce to Printer Margins option under Page Scaling.
