10\. eOPF System Requirements

To access and utilize the eOPF, you must use two basic "off-the-shelf"
software components: a Web browser application and the document viewer.
The Web browser enables you to view the various system screens such as
Logon and Search. Adobe Acrobat, the document viewer, enables you to
view documents.

Microsoft Internet Explorer v5.5 and above is the recommended browser
for eOPF. Adobe Acrobat Reader is the document viewer used by eOPF.

The eOPF stores documents as Portable Document Format (PDF) files, which
can be viewed and printed using Adobe Acrobat Reader. Use version 6.0.1
or above of Adobe Acrobat Reader. Version 6.0.0 or older may not work.
Certain versions of Adobe Acrobat Professional will not work. If you do
not have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer, it is
available as a free download on the Internet or you should contact IT
support to have it installed.

#### Note:  {#note ._Note-Head}

####  {#section ._Note-Text}

#### The Adobe Acrobat Reader "options" should be set to "not" view inside the browser. This option can be accessed by selecting Edit  Preferences  Internet in Adobe Acrobat Reader v6.x version. {#the-adobe-acrobat-reader-options-should-be-set-to-not-view-inside-the-browser.-this-option-can-be-accessed-by-selecting-edit-preferences-internet-in-adobe-acrobat-reader-v6.x-version. ._Note-Text}
