• About PDF Files

    PDF files provide consistent results when printed. We offer a PDF version of some documents on the AAFP website so you can print a formatted copy.

    To view and print PDF files, you must have Adobe® Reader® installed on your computer. Most computers already have this software installed, if yours does not, you can download Adobe Reader free from the Adobe website.

    Troubleshooting

    2. If you have Adobe Reader installed, and you are having trouble displaying PDF documents in your web browser, right-click on the link (cmd-click on a Mac), and save the file to your hard drive. Open the PDF file by double-clicking it.
