Using Acrobat Reader

Adobe Acrobat Reader provides tools to make viewing large format documents easier. A number of the maps on our website are designed to print on large format printers to provide the required detail. When you open an Adobe Acrobat document, (sometimes called a pdf file) the tool bar will look similar to the following:

- use the Zoom tool to drag a box on your screen to zoom into the document.

- use the Hand tool to pan around a document after you have zoomed into the document.

- also a zoom tool, click on + to zoom in or - to zoom out.

 

Printing Webpages

When you print web pages does the text sometimes get cutoff? Web browsers allow the user to set the margins of all their print jobs, they are not set in the web pages. To adjust your print margins in Microsoft's Internet Explorer, click on File and Page Setup, in the Page Setup window, adjust your margins to something smaller so more of the webpage is printer per page.
