Information to Access
Linked Files
Files are linked on the
Rotary Youth Exchange Officer Resource Web Site in several formats, often with a choice for your
convenience. This page is to help you with access to some these files. Click on
the file type below for more information about accessing it. If your Internet
Browser does not have viewing capability for a file type and you want to
open it in another program, when prompted download the file to a location on
your hard drive that you can remember.
.pdf - Adobe Acrobat
These files may be offered in different
resolutions for your convenience. Screen resolution files are smaller and
faster to download for viewing. Print resolution files are larger, but make
much nicer printed documents. In most cases, if your browser has the Adobe
Acrobat Reader plug-in installed, you should be able to click on a file's
link to make the file open directly in the browser window. If, however, you
experience difficulty using this method, you can instead download the file
to your computer's hard drive. Do this by right-clicking on the file's link
(on Macintosh systems, press the Control key while clicking) and then
choosing "Save Target As..." or "Save Link As..." from the ensuing pop-up
menu. After the download has been completed, open the file using Adobe
Acrobat Reader. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader you can get it here Adobe
