Print PDF in Firefox

The portable document format, PDF, is a popular method of encoding and distributing electronic documents. The PDF format has the advantage of being able to give a document a uniform appearance on a variety of computers and operating systems. Originally created by Adobe Systems for its Acrobat software, the PDF format is now an open standard for document exchange. Printing a PDF document from your Firefox browser is simple once it is configured correctly.


Instructions
things you'll need:

* Firefox 3.0 or later browser
* Administrative rights on your computer

1. Open your Firefox browser.
2. Navigate to the Adobe.com website. Click on the "Get Adobe Reader" button located on the right side of the Adobe home page.
3. Follow the instructions on the Adobe website to download and install the Acrobat Reader on your computer. During the installation process, Firefox will install the Acrobat Reader extension that will allow you to open PDF files within your browser.
4. Reboot your computer. Many of the new software configuration settings will not take effect until your computer is restarted.
5. Open Firefox. Navigate to a web page that contains a PDF file.
