This page explains how to print the PDF files provided in the present site.
What is PDF?
PDF (or Portable Document Format) is a file format which allows the precise description of documents containing text and graphics. The PDF format has the important advantage of being universal, precise, and easy to print. However, unlike PostScript, PDF is not really a programming language, and it does not offer you the possibility of editing the original files that are provided here for generating your own new variants.
How to print PDF files?
PDF files are usually printed using Adobe's Acrobat Reader, a freely available software that can be downloaded (in various languages and for various operating systems) from Adobe's internet site. Depending on the browser you are using, clicking on a "PDF" indicator in the "Selected DFT figures" page will either open the PDF file using the Acrobat Reader software, or prompt you for downloading the PDF file in question onto your computer. In the latter case, you will have to open the downloaded PDF file by yourself using the Acrobat Reader software.Once the PDF file is open, you can visualize it directly on your computer display, and send it to your printer in order to get it printed.
