(1) HTML, which can be viewed or printed from at Web browser, orThe advantage of (1) is that the report can be more quickly and easily browsed, but it lacks page numbers and full formatting, and tables and figures appear only at the end. The advantage of (2) is that it allows for printing a version that is fully formatted with tables and figures in the text, but it requires the extra step of obtaining and opening Adobe Acrobat Reader. This plug-in program is free, however, and can be easily downloaded by clicking on this link. Once this program is installed in your computer, your Web browser starts it automatically when it is needed.
(2) PDF, for "portable document format," which can be downloaded and printed, but only through Adobe Acrobat Reader, a "plug-in" program that connects to your Web browser.
If you do not wish to use the PDF version:
(1) HTML versions of the reports can be printed directly from the Web page, through your Web browser, using the print command. This may take a long time, however, and some people may have trouble completing the print job, so below are other alternatives.
(2) If you print an HTML version, the tables and figures will not appear fully unless you specify "landscape" page orientation. This can be done by specifying the properties or options under your print command.
(3) HTML versions can be downloaded and saved on your computer by using the Save or Save As command under File in the menu of your Web browser. Once saved, reports can be opened from your computer with your Web browser or with a word processing program, and then printed. The more recent versions of popular word processing programs will read and display Web documents either in the original HTML format, or by converting them to the word processor's format.
(4) Option 3 may not preserve all of the tables and figures. Some
of these are in separate graphics files and are not part of the main report
file. These graphics files can also be downloaded and saved, but
it may be simpler just to print the tables and figures from the Web page.
You can do so without printing the entire report by using the browser's
print command to specify only the pages at the end of the report.
It is difficult to tell exactly which page numbers to specify since there
is no fixed pagination. Most reports are approximately 40 pages long,
so you can experiment by specifying a page range such as 30-40, and then
print additional pages as necessary. As noted above, it is best to
print tables and figures in a "landscape" orientation, which can be selected
under Properties or Options under the Print command.
