The Semantics Membership Application is provided in Adobe Acrobat PDF format, which requires you, the user, to have the Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer.

NOTE: It is possible that you have an early version of the Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer. If you already installed the Adobe Acrobat Reader, yet you still get an error when trying to bring up a PDF file, check the version number. To do this, go into Windows and open up the Adobe Acrobat Reader program. The version number appears on the opening screen.

If you have not installed the Acrobat Reader previously, or if your version is seriously

out-of-date, please download the current version of the Reader now.

At the Adobe site, follow the instructions (make sure to select the operating system on your computer from the drop-down list marked "platform", and make a note of the directory where you are saving the file.

When the file has finished downloading, leave the Adobe Web site. You are now ready to set up the Adobe Acrobat Reader to work with your browser. On your own computer, go to the directory where you saved the file, and double-click on the icon or file name. This will install the program automatically, prompting you for only a few responses. From now on your browser will be able to read Adobe Acrobat files from The Semantics website as well as from other sites without having to repeat this procedure.
