The overheads are distributed in two different formats. The [html] format is intended for viewing from a web browser , whereas the [pdf] format is intended for printing and can be downloaded and viewed with either Adobe Acrobat Reader or Preview. The computers on campus should already have Acrobat Reader installed on them.
