Ensure that you have the latest version of Adobe Reader. If you are a Western Sydney University staff member, using a University computer, you can check for the latest version of Adobe Reader in the Software Centre on your computer.
If you still cannot view unit outlines once you have upgraded to the latest version of Adobe, you may need to adjust the settings in your browser to enable PDFs to display.
If you find that the PDFs still do not display in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox once you have adjusted the settings, you may need to follow the additional steps below as both browsers include a built in PDF viewer in which you may need to make adjustments to open the PDF with Adobe Reader instead.
Google Chrome
- Open Google Chrome.
- Type chrome://extensions/ in the Chrome address bar and press 'Enter'.
- Under 'Extensions', click the button to enable Adobe Acrobat.
- Close and restart Chrome.
- If an error message still appears, see this Library FAQ.
Mozilla Firefox
