Downloading PDF documents
Many of the documents you'll find for download on our website are available in the Adobe PDF format.
Adobe Reader software allows users to enlarge the document they are viewing to make the text easier to read for those people with visual impairments.
You can use an external screen reader on PDF documents or use their own "Read Out Loud" option.
