About PDF (Portable Document Format) Files

Adobe® Acrobat® Reader® 6.0 is now available.

Each section of the New Mexico School Health Manual is a separate PDF file. The software Adobe® Acrobat® Reader® 5.0 is required. The files may be launched within the browser as shown below or may launch the Acrobat® Reader® outside the browser. Each PDF file contains a table of contents in the form of bookmarks that are displayed on the left of the screen. The bookmarks link all the PDF files together. It is possible to download/save sections/files individually from the web or CD versions, but the bookmarks to other sections/files will no longer function. If all the files are saved exactly as they are organized on the CD or the web site this feature will continue to work.
