BackAdobe Acrobat's portable document format (PDF) files are widely used on the Web because they preserve the original appearance of the printed document. To access these files, you must have the Acrobat Reader installed on your computer, configured to work with your browser. When viewed or printed in the Acrobat Reader, the document appears as it does in the hard copy version.
Many PDF documents contain bookmarks to the major sections. If the
bookmarks are not visible when you open the file, select the
bookmark button
in the
Button Bar of the Acrobat Reader. Just click a bookmark to jump to the
corresponding topic or section in the document. To view sub-topic bookmarks,
click the triangle icon at the left of a bookmark.
If you do not have the Acrobat Reader, you may download a free
copy from 
Adobe.
Sometimes our visitors find it easier to open PDF files if they first
download them to their computer and then open them as they would any document.
If you have not tried this already, you may want to see if these four steps
work for you:
1. Right-click (Windows) or click and hold (Macintosh)
on the link to the pdf file.
2. From the popup menu, select Save Link
As (Netscape) or Save Target As (Internet Explorer).
3. Select the
location where you want to save the file then select Save.
4. Open
Acrobat Reader, choose open from the file menu, locate the file, and select
open.

Reader Support page.

The tools convert PDF documents into simple HTML or ASCII text that can then be read by a number of common screen reading programs that synthesize the HTML as audible speech.
