How to download pdf on phone

If you do not have a pdf app, you can use most E-book readers or the Adobe Acrobat app. If you do not find the icon for a reader or Adobe Acrobat, you need to set up the app. The directions below are for the Media and Adobe Acrobat app. The Media app is recommended. Hint: if you would like to print this page, use the &#;Print&#; icon at the bottom to avoid printing the header and footer.

The Android system is much more flexible than the IOS system, resulting in a wider variety of behavior. Also, software is continuously updated, which will affect the notes presented here.
