Adobe PDFs

Many of the documents on our website are converted to PDF (Portable Document Format) using Acrobat 5.0. Older documents may not support all of the functions now available with Acrobat, however you may contact us as mentioned in the Accessibility Statement to provide you with a hard copy.

Acrobat 5.0 now offers new capabilities that improve accessibility to electronic documents for users with disabilities:

• You can read PDF documents with Microsoft Windows based screen readers
• Use keyboard navigation
• View documents in high contrast mode
• Zoom in on text and resize to fit any size view

In order to read PDFs you need to download a copy of the free Acrobat Reader. Please ensure your reader is the most up to date version to ensure compatibility with our documents.
