Publications on the disputeInfo site
Documents on this site are provided in Portable Document Format (PDF).
To open PDF documents, you will need a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader. You can download this for free from the Adobe website.

What is a PDF file?
A Portable Document Format (pdf) file is a self contained cross-platform document. In plain language, it is a file that will look the same on the screen and in print, regardless of what kind of computer or printer someone is using and regardless of what software package was originally used to create it.

Although they contain the complete formatting of the original document, including fonts and images, PDF files are highly compressed, allowing complex to be downloaded efficiently.

Using PDF files
Once the Acrobat Reader software is properly installed, you just need to link to a .pdf file and it will be loaded for viewing on your computer.

When printing PDF files from within your web browser, do not use the web browser print facility. Instead, use the print button at the left end of the special Adobe Acrobat tool bar which appears immediately above the viewing window.
