*** Adobe Acrobat Reader - A "Helper Application" Needed to View Electronic Reserves

Most electronic reserves are formatted as Portable Document Format (PDF) files. To view PDF files, you need a helper application, Adobe Acrobat Reader. Adobe Acrobat Reader is included on the MUnet CD. The software can also be downloaded for free from Adobe's website. The Computer Services Help Desk can assist you if you have problems. Call 785-3279 or search the MU Knowldge Base for a solution.
