EECS 265: How to download and print a file

Q: How do I download and print the syllabus and the lecture notes?

A: If you use PCs, I recommend downloading and printing the pdf files.

Here goes the steps:

For Windows 95:
To download and print a pdf file :

log in
start Netscape

click the 'Start' button
choose 'Programs'
choose 'ADN Internet Tools'
select 'Netscape Gold 3.01'

in netscape, at the line 'Netsite' , type in the URL: "http://www.eecs.uic.edu/~dutt/courses/eecs265/eecs265.html" and hit enter
in the webpage, click the pdf file you want to download
then click the 'Save File' button
when a box pops up, make sure that the line 'save in' is 'C:'

if not, change it to drive C:

select the directory to save the file you'll download by double-clicking the directory 'Temp'
jot down the name of the file you're about to download, then hit enter
Once downloaded successfully, start Acrobat Reader:

click 'Start' button
highlight 'Programs'
highlight 'Adobe Acrobat'
select 'Acrobat Reader 3.0'

in Acrobat Reader, choose 'File' to open the pull-down menu
select 'Open' to open the file you've downloaded
at the line 'look in:', make sure that the drive letter [C:] is shown

if, not, click the arrow head and use scroll bar to change it to [C:]

then double click the directory 'Temp' in which you've stored your file
the name of the file should appear. Highlight the file and click 'Open'
in Acrobat Reader, select 'File' to open a sub-menu and then choose 'print' and hit enter to print the file

For Windows 3.1:
To download and print a pdf file :

log in
start Netscape

locate the 'Main Menu' folder
double click 'Netscape Navigator Gold or Netscape 2.0 (2.0 is faster)' icon

in netscape, at the line 'location' , type in the URL: "http://www.eecs.uic.edu/~dutt/courses/eecs265/eecs265.html" and hit enter
in the webpage, click the pdf file you're going to download
then click the 'Save File...' button
when a box pops up, jot down the default name (as shown in 'File Name:') of the file you're about to download
now change to the directory 'Temp' at drive C by typing 'c:\temp' at 'File Name:' Press enter and it will take you there.
retype the filename you've just copied at 'File Name:' and hit enter.

Once downloaded successfully, start Acrobat Reader:

locate the 'Adobe Acrobat 3.0' folder and click it open
double click 'Acrobat Reader 3.0' icon

in Acrobat Reader, choose 'File' to open the pull-down menu

select 'Open' to open the file you've downloaded
at the line 'look in:', make sure that the drive letter [C:] is shown

if, not, click the arrow head and use scroll bar to change it to [C:]

then double click the directory 'Temp' in which you've stored your file
the name of the file should appear. Highlight the file and click 'Open'

SHORTCUT: at the line 'File Name:', you may simply type 'c:\temp\filename.pdf' (replace filename.pdf with the name of the file you've just downloaded) and hit enter
