PDF Files
We provide some publications in PDF format, for which you will need the Adobe Acrobat reader. You can download Acrobat Reader free of charge from the Adobe web site. Please note Adobe offer an online conversion tool (from PDF to HTML) if you have trouble accessing PDF files.
User Stylesheets
The ECMWF website uses cascading stylesheets (CSS) to control presentation and layout, but it is possible to override these settings by using your own 'user stylesheet'. You can search online for information on creating and using a user stylesheet.
