Downloading Documents

Downloadable documents on the JustAct website are provided in PDF format. If you don’t have the software to open a PDF document, you need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader from the Adobe website. We recommend you to update the Acrobat reader regularly, because new and better versions are released regularly.

Saving documents to your computer

If you have a PC, right-click on the link to the document. If you use a Macintosh, hold down the mouse button over the link. In both cases, a popup menu will then appear. Scroll down the menu and click on ‘Save as’. You will then be asked to choose a folder on your computer where you can save the document.

PDF Accessibility

Useful information about services to make Acrobat documents more accessible is provided on Adobe’s website.
