Using PDF Files

How to download and use the Adobe PDF files available on this site

The PDF (Portable Document Format) format is used on the 2025 Taskforce website to enable site users to view, download and print publications and documents largely as they appear in print.

You will need the Adobe Reader software on your computer in order to be able to view and print PDF files.

PDF files we make available on this website have generally been made compatible with all versions of Adobe Reader since Adobe Reader version 4.

PDF files on this website have a PDF icon associated with them.  Our practice is to use the file name of the PDF and its file size in kilobytes or megabytes as part of the link text.

Example PDF link: Business New Zealand - tfs-busnz-14sep09.pdf (202 KB).

Installing Adobe Reader

The Adobe Reader software is free to download from Adobe Reader on the Adobe website.

Viewing PDF Files

To view PDF files click your mouse on the link to a PDF file. In Windows and Internet Explorer this is a LEFT-MOUSE clik action.

Depending on how your browser is configured, the PDF file will open inside the browser window, inside a separate Adobe Reader window, or in your browser's Adobe Reader helper application.

Saving PDF Files

Instead of immediately viewing the PDF file in Adobe Reader, you may wish to save the file to your computer first and then open it in Adobe Reader. Doing so can avoid some bugs within Adobe Reader that cause trouble when accessing the PDF file directly from websites.

Firefox

In Firefox you can RIGHT-MOUSE click on the link, select 'Save Link As', and then choose a location on your computer to save the PDF file.

Internet Explorer

If you are using Internet Explorer RIGHT-CLICK on the link, select 'Save Target As...', and then choose a location on your computer to save the PDF file.

Printing PDF Files

If you want to print a large PDF file it is best to save it to your computer first, rather than print it directly from the 2025 Taskforce website. Large PDF files require a lot of printer memory to print across the internet.

PDF files will print best on a PostScript printer.  PDF files may print legibly on other printers, but using a PostScript printer will ensure that fonts and images print legibly.

Problems Opening PDF Files

If you experience problems opening PDF files please check settings on your computer.  See Adobe Reader support on the Adobe website for assistance with troubleshooting PDF problems on your computer.  However, if you think that your problem is caused by a broken link to a PDF file on our website, please do contact us and we will fix the broken link as soon as possible.

Using MS Excel Files
