How to view PDF files

We provide the handouts distributed at conferences in PDF files.

It requires Adobe Reader, available at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html (free).

If your Adobe Reader version is older than version 7.0, you may have problems opening the downloaded file properly.
In such a case, please access the above mentioned URL and download the latest version from the Adobe Systems homepage.

Some of the files may include Japanese fonts. Should you experience any problems viewing the PDF files please install the relevant "Asian font pack" for Adobe Reader, which can be downloaded for free from the Adobe website.
