Downloading leaflets
In addition to presenting you with the content of our information leaflets online, you can download Word or PDF files of the leaflets to read or print out offline. Links to the downloadable versions of the leaflets are presented in the right-hand column beside each individual leaflet.
On some computers, simply clicking on the link to these documents will open them within your browser or within the appropriate application, although this may not save a copy of the file on your computer. We recommend that you save files to your computer before viewing them.
To download and save a file to your computer:
on a PC: right click on the link to the file and select the option to 'save target' or 'save link'. You can then open the file within the appropriate application.
on a Mac: click on the link to the file and hold down the mouse button, and then select the option to save the file to disk. You can then open the file within the appropriate application.
Reading PDF files
Many of our leaflets are PDF files, which require you to have a copy of Acrobat® Reader in order to be able to read them. This piece of software is freely available from the download pages on Adobe's website.
PDF files cannot be read by most screen reader programs used by many visually impaired people. Adobe's access.adobe website provides a number of online PDF conversion tools which can convert PDF documents into either web pages or plain text, which can then be read by a number of common screen reader programs.
