How do I download a PDF document from flsenate.gov to my computer?

PDF stands for "Portable Document Format." PDF preserves the original look of the document almost exactly: fonts, photos, graphics and layout all appear as they do in the original.

Download the free Acrobat Reader:

Please Note: To run the Reader at the same time as the Internet browser requires a large amount of memory. The best approach would be to download the PDF file and view it offline.

For files that offer the As Printed link, right click on one of these options:
Microsoft Internet Explorer
- Select Save Target As
Netscape Navigator
- Select Save Link As
At the top of the page click the Down Arrow to the left of Save As.
Select Desktop.
Click Save.
Saving the file to the Desktop is recommended. It is not wise to save a PDF file in a word processor, as the file will not display properly.
