High Resolution vs Low Resolution

Abode Acrobat Reader

To view the Chart Books you need Adobe Acrobat Reader. The Reader is a free program which can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html.

Go through the simple instructions on the Adobe page and download the program according to your system. You can either save this program to your computer and run this program once downloaded or run this program automatically from the Adobe website. Once you have completed the install Adobe Acrobat Reader will automatically launch when you select "Get Chart".

Common Problems

• When you select "Get Chart" you get a pop-up box where you have to click "OK" to view the chart?
• Inside the pop-up box, there a feature box on the bottom left hand corner called "Always ask before opening this type of file". If you un-check this box, then the Reader will automatically open the Charts. This is a saftey precaution which is un-necessary with PDF files.

  Please contact CRB with any problems regarding the eFP.
