How to Save a PDF File
"PDF" stands for Portable Document Format, a file format created by Adobe software that creates images of documents, which can then be viewed on the Internet. Because they are images, PDFs are usually very large files and may take longer to load in your browser than HTML files. To save a PDF file to your hard drive:
Make sure that you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. If not, you can download it for free from Adobe by clicking here.
Open the document you wish to save.
After the document has opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader, click the "Save a Copy" icon found at the top-left of the screen. A dialogue box will appear.
Using the drop-down menu next to "Save in" of the dialogue box, navigate to the folder in which you wish to save your document. (For instance, "My Documents.")
Once you have chosen the location, click the "Save" button. The document is now in its new location and can be viewed at a later time.
