Adobe Acrobat TM and PDF Files
SD MEDX contains many downloadable documents. Often times these documents
will be in a Portable Document Format (PDF) which allows you to view
the document on your screen as though you were looking at a printed page. A PDF
can be recognized as such because the file name ends with ".pdf" and requires
a PDF viewer.

In addition to PDF documents, some areas of SD MEDX allow you to export
data to a ".xls" file. These files are typically associated with Microsoft Excel;
however, they can be read by many commercial and public domain spreadsheet applications.
