• .ps: Postscript (can be printed on the printer in C-CAE, EN-3020. For more details on how, check here.) Also can be viewed/printed using Ghostscript.
• .ps.gz: Gzipped Postscript, typically less than 25% of the size, but you'll need to unzip it before you print it.
• .pdf: Portable document format (can be printed/viewed using either Acroread, or Ghostscript). Note that, probably due to the conversion process, PDF files are sometimes much larger than (as much as 10 times) the corresponding Postscript.
• .pdf.gz: Gzipped PDF

• Netscape: Shift+click on link
• MS Internet Explorer: Right click and choose "Save target as".

Bugs and Fixes

Acroread fails with an error message about "document too complex".

Save the document to your disk first (see above), then open it in Acroread outside the browser.

Some browsers remove the '.gz' from the gzipped file names when they save them.

If you download a gzipped version, but get a file without the '.gz' extension then you'll need to rename the file to something.gz before unzipping it.
