How to Access PDF Documents |
|
Some Social Security forms publications
depend for their comprehension and visual impact on reproduction as they
appear in their printed format. Many of our forms are machine-read and
also depend on accurate reproduction. In order to make these documents and
forms available to the widest audience, SSA uses the Portable
Document Format (PDF), developed by Adobe. PDF files are printer
independent and can easily print a duplicate of the original publication
using any graphics printer (i.e., laser, inkjet, dot-matrix or plotter).
In order to view or print these files in the PDF format, you will need
Adobe's Acrobat® reader. You will need to download and install
the free Acrobat Reader on your computer.
Depending on the version and type of browser you are using, Acrobat® documents will either open in a separate window (using the Acrobat Reader®) or in the browser window (if an Acrobat® plug-in is active in your browser environment). Information about this option is provided when you download the Acrobat Reader. PDF files are printer independent using any printer. If you are using the software to view SSA forms, the form should be printed on 8 1/2" x 11" white paper. You must print the form with blue or black ink to be acceptable to SSA. If you need further information, Customer Support is available at Adobe's web site.Please do not contact the Social Security Administration for problems or questions concerning the Adobe Acrobat Reader software.
