Documents in PDF Format

A number of documents are presented in standard PDF format. To view these documents you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. Acrobat Reader is free of charge.

A link to the download site is on all pages that require it. The full version of Acrobat Reader 6.0 is recommended as it includes accessibility features. It is available at: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/alternate.html

Many users find PDF Format documents convenient however some users may have difficulties opening or reading PDF documents. You may wish to use one of the free Adobe PDF Conversion Tools available at: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/access_onlinetools.html

You can choose how to submit a PDF Format document and the document format you want it converted to (html or text).

You may also request from us a suitable version of a document. Please send an email with the title of the document you require, its location or URL on our website, and whether an MS Word or RTF (Rich Text Format) document is preferred. We apologise for any delay or inconvenience caused.

New browser windows

When a new window is about to open, we let you know before you select a link, for example:
(new window).
If you have Javascript disabled the link will still open but not in a new window.

Many users find this annoying or confusing. Some sites we link to do not let you use the 'Back' button. This makes it difficult for you to return to our site. We have tried to limit new windows opening so that you can stay in control of your navigation.
