Working
with PDFs and Adobe Acrobat catalogs from ClarkIndustrialSupply.com
On the website, some of the catalogs and related
documents are in PDF format. This allows the user to view the catalogs and documents
as originally formatted for print. To view these PDFs the user will need to have
the Acrobat Reader installed. Download a free copy here.
Saving a PDF to your hard drive:
1. To save the PDF to a hard drive after opening the PDF in the browser window,
simply click on the Diskette icon, located on the Acrobat tool bar.
2. To save a PDF to a hard drive before opening the PDF in the browser window,
simply right-click on the PDF link and select Internet Explorer: "Save Target
As", Netscape: "Save Link As". This will save the linked PDF file
to the location determined by the user.
This enables the user to create a targeted collection of catalogs for later
user.
Opening a PDF in a new browser window:
3. To open a PDF in a new browser window, right click on the PDF link and select "Open
in New Window".
This enables the user to view multiple PDFs on screen, switching back and
forth without having to reopen the PDF pages.
Copying images from a PDF:
4. To copy images from the PDF, the user will need to do a "screen capture".
Press alt+print screen (a button located above the arrow keys). This will

now paste this image into most applications.
