Desktop/Laptop Browsers
This website uses Adobe
pdf files for some of its pages. Most of the popular Browsers are probably not fully
compatible with the Adobe PDF Standard. Firefox & Chrome are probably the
best for compatibility.
When opening any external links in
pdf web pages, rather than just left click on the link, it may be better to
right click on the link and then left click on ‘Open Link In New Tab’ to
prevent it replacing the current web page.
