True - that is, if you do not have the current version installed on your computer. Most computers now already have a version of Acrobat Reader installed.
Certain forms and publications are provided as Adobe Acrobat PDF files, allowing you to see the form or publication in their original formats, including graphics.
To view and print these files, you need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader software installed on your computer. You can download this free software from the Adobe website.
To find out if you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer, follow these steps:
Click the Start button on your taskbar (usually found in the bottom left of the computer screen).
Select All Programs from the pop-up menu.
Verify that there is a folder called Adobe Acrobat listed.
