Instructions
for Downloading the Free Adobe Reader
Adobe
Reader is required for you to read the Baby Shower Games and bonus
ebooks. Chances are you already it installed on your computer. Before
you go through the process of downloading the Reader, try double-clicking
on one of your ebooks to see if you can read it. If not, follow
the directions below.
These
instructions may seem long and complicated, but some of the steps
will vary depending upon your operating system. I've tried to include
everything you might encounter with this Adobe Reader download.
These
instructions have been modified 4/30/07 for Adobe Reader 8.0.
To
Download the Free Adobe Reader
- Click
here to go to Adobe's website.
- Click
the yellow "Continue" button.
- De-select
the checkmark next to "Free Google Toolbar" and
press the "Download Adobe Reader" button.
- If
the yellow Info Bar appears above the page that says "To
help protect your security, Internet Explorer blocked this
site from downloading files to your computer. Click here
for options...", click the bar and select "Download
file". It may instead say something about an Active-X
control. Click the bar to install also.
- If
a dialog box appears with the option to "Run"
or "Save" the file, click "Run."
- There
may be a second dialog box that asks if your want to "Run"
or "Don't Run" this file. Click "Run."
Adobe download manager will now download the file onto your
computer.
- If
a dialog box asks you to "Install Now" or "Install
Later", click "Install Now."
- If
a dialog box asks you to close a program or file in order
to continue with the installation, close the window that
is mentioned and press "Retry." (I'm sorry that
I don't have the exact wording of the message that appears
- I got the message once and haven't been able to recreate
it since. I had to close all of the internet windows I had
open in order for the installation to continue - basically
I got off the internet completely so the installation could
continue.)
-
If
a dialog box asks for a download location, just click
"OK" for whatever location is already selected.
You do not need to keep track of where it's located. Whenever
you click on an ebook, your computer knows where the Reader
is and will automatically open it.
- If
the Install Wizard appears on your screen, follow the instructions
(basically you keep pressing "Next" until it's
finished). Then press "Finish."
- You
now have Adobe Reader on your computer. When you double
click on an ebook, such as the Baby Shower Games, Adobe
Reader will automatically open and allow you to read that
ebook.
