Many of the documents on the
NMLB Web site are in HTML or ASCII (plain text) formats. These
formats are generally accessible to people who use screen
readers. We also have a large number of documents in Adobe
Acrobat® Portable Document Format (PDF).
PDF format is used to preserve
the content and layout of our hard copy publications.
Publications in PDF can only be viewed and printed using the
Adobe AcrobatReader®, version 3.0 or higher. You can download
and get help using the Acrobat Reader at the Adobe Systems, Inc.
site. The downloadable Acrobat Reader software is available at
NO CHARGE from Adobe.
People using screen-reading
devices generally are unable to read documents directly in PDF
format, unless they have an accessibility plug-in installed on
their system along with the Adobe Acrobat Reader. This plug-in
is available at NO CHARGE from Adobe. Adobe also has online
tools that will convert PDF files to HTML on request. To get the
plug-in and latest news about Adobe's accessibility tools and
services, visit the Access Adobe site.
