The way web browser handle PDFs differs across platforms and configurations. On Windows computers the ‘Adobe PDF viewer’ browser plugin will enable direct viewing of PDFs within the browser.

It is suggested that Windows users download PDFs by clicking with the right mouse button and selecting ‘Save rel As’. Select a destination for the PDF and then double-click on the file to open the PDF in Adobe Reader.
By default web browsers on the Macintosh will download PDFs to the desktop. Double-click on the document icon on the desktop to open the PDF in Adobe Reader.
