These documents are the Portable Document Format (PDF) and
PostScriptTM
(PS) versions of their HTML counterparts included in the Java 2 SDK
documentation.
PDF and PS are more suitable for printing multiple page documents than HTML.
These versions are offered as a convenience for those documents that are
authored in FrameMaker -- it is not a complete set of the SDK documentation.
The official, complete set is available only in HTML at
SDKTM download page. Therefore,
if you download the HTML version of the SDK documentation, it is not
necessary to also download the versions on this page to have a
complete set.
These documents require either a PostScript viewer (for PS)
or Acrobat Reader (for PDF). You can download an Acrobat Reader
from Adobe for free from the
Acrobat Reader download page.
When you download these files, it does not matter which local directory
you save them to, since there are no links to them from the
HTML SDK documentation.
