Viewing HTML Documents

To view an HTML document, start your browser and open the index.htm file in the directory containing the unzipped files.

Viewing PDF Documents

You must right-click the link for a portable document format (PDF) file and save the file to your hard drive. Attempting to link directly to large PDF files causes your system to freeze. To save PDF files (files with an extension of .pdf) to your hard drive, right-click the document title, click Save Target As in Microsoft® Internet Explorer or Save Link As in Netscape Navigator, and specify a location on your hard drive.

PDF files require Adobe™ Acrobat Reader, which can be downloaded from www.adobe.com.

To view PDFs, launch Acrobat Reader, click File® Open and select the PDF file. 

NOTE: To view the PDF files for the Red Hat® Linux operating system, Dell recommends that you use the xpdf file viewer for the X Window System. You can download xpdf from the Red Hat Linux website at www.redhat.com.

To view the files for the Red Hat Linux operating system, perform the following steps:

1. To start the X Window System, type startx from a Red Hat Linux command prompt.
   
   
2. In a terminal window, type xpdf filename to open the PDF file you want to view. 
   For example, type:

xpdf lnx7132.pdf

For more information about how to use xpdf, type the following command at a Red Hat Linux command prompt:

man xpdf

3. To navigate within a PDF file, use the right- and left-arrow buttons at the bottom of the xpdf screen. A single arrow button moves the document one page in the direction indicated. A compound arrow moves the document 10 pages in the direction indicated.
