Does the functionality for a PC differ from that of a MAC?

There are no significant functional differences. However, Firefox may interfere when you want to download or print a report in PDF format. To have PDF files open automatically after download, you must disable Firefox's PDF plug-in.

To do so:

  • In Firefox, from the Tools menu, select Options.
  • Select Downloads.
  • Click View & Edit Actions.
  • Select the line for the PDF extension.
  • Click Change Action.
  • Select Open them with the default application and click OK.

Downloaded PDF files will now open in a separate Acrobat window, not a Firefox browser window.

If you do not want to disable the Acrobat plug-in, each time you download to PDF, select Provide link. Save the PDF file by right-clicking the link and selecting Save Link As. You can then open it outside the browser.
