Instructions designed for Microsoft Windows 11, and Microsoft Edge Version 115.0.

Most browsers, when clicking on a PDF link, will open a PDF preview within the browser window. But if you need to download the PDF and not preview it, as is the case with court audio, you will need to change a setting in your browser. The key to listening to court audio is that the PDF must be downloaded to your computer and opened with Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader.

Why can't I preview the audio in the browser? Court audio is embedded wihin a PDF file and you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat to acesss the audio.
