Accessing Documents in Different File Formats

This web site provides content in several formats that may require plug-ins, or separate browser components, to properly view. All required plug-ins are free to use. PDF documents ensure that you will be able to obtain publications in their original format regardless of what type of computer, browser or operating system you use to access the Internet. PDF documents on this site larger than 100KB are displayed with the file size for your convenience. In order to view and/or print PDF documents, you must first download the Acrobat Reader software. For best results, make sure you install version 6 or later of the Acrobat Reader. Other plug-ins you may need are: Microsoft Word Viewer and Microsoft Excel Viewer.

Adobe Flash

The doit.maryland.gov web site uses Adobe Flash for presentation of information in the montage area. This functionality has been developed with the built in accessibility features of Flash and tested using the JAWS Screen Reader (ver. 9.0). In order to access these features you need to use Adobe Flash Player 9 or higher. However, if the site detects that a user does not have the Flash Player, the montage will default to a static image and allow users to cycle through that area of the site. You may download the latest flash player at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer.
