PDF readers

There are a number of programs that you could use to read PDF documents.

The most popular is Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is freely downloadable from here. It's quite a large download. Alternatively, it is often located on computer magazine cover disks.

There is a much smaller PDF Reader, called FoxIt Reader, which is also freely downloadable - from http://www.foxitsoftware.com/downloads/

There are many other readers for PDF documents too.

Once you've downloaded and installed a PDF reader, click on any of the FunderFinder leaflets and they should open up in your reader.
