All files are in pdf format for viewing, downloading or printing. Clicking with the left (normal) mouse button should open the file in Adobe Acobat Reader (if installed). A single click of the right (properties) mouse button and then selecting the option to save the linked document will enable you to save the file to your computer and then view or print it later. This latter approach may work better with large files. If printing to a non-A4 printer, set the option 'Fit to page' on the Print dialog. There are many colour figures, so it is best to use a colour printer.
