Below are the formats you will encounter on this website, with instructions for opening them.


PDF


Chances are, you already have a PDF reader installed on your device, whether as a standalone application, or built into your web browser.
If you try to open a PDF and you see a notice that your device doesn't know how to open it, you may need to install a PDF reader.

The simplest free PDF reader we recommend is Foxit PDF Reader.
There are lots of other options, some of which, you could find here. Or just search Free PDF reader.


ODT


For ODT files, which are fully editable, you will one of these word processors:
OpenOffice
LibreOffice

We use the ODT format because it's the native format of the above software.
The software, itself, is compatible with all other formats and is free of spyware and bloat, unlike the Microsoft and Apple versions, which are also deliberately less compatible with open file formats.

These word processors are available for most operating systems, they're trustworthy, and they're free.
