How do I download a PDF of a standard?
You will need a PDF reader and the FileOpen plug-in to view and download documents.
- Staff: Download Foxit PDF Reader via the Software Centre; this will allow you to download a standard as a PDF.
- Students:
- Download a PDF Reader like Adobe Acrobat (Foxit PDF reader is available on campus student PCs).
- Download the FileOpen plugin. You can download this here FileOpen: All Client Installers.
Note that when downloading a standard, the file will expire after 30 days, and you will need to download it again.
How do I search for a standard?
Search with the full name, e.g., AS/NZS ISO9000, or use the filter function to filter by Publisher and select SA (Standards Australia) and SNZ (Standards New Zealand).
How do I open the PDF in different browsers?
Google Chrome
In the URL bar type in chrome://settings/content/pdfDocuments and hit enter. You will see an option called PDF Documents. For versions 90 and lower, select the slider so that it turns blue, allowing file downloads outside of the Chrome PDF viewer or for versions 91 and higher, select the radio button to download PDFs.
Ensure you are opening the PDF using the PDF Reader, you may get an error message or a blank PDF. By default, Chrome opens a PDF in the browser. To avoid this, click the drop-down arrow next to the downloaded file and choose ‘Always open with…(PDF Reader)’ Or right-click the file and open it with the PDF Reader.
Microsoft Edge
In the URL bar type in edge://settings/content/pdfDocuments . Select the slider so it turns blue, allowing PDF files to download rather than open them in the Edge PDF viewer.
Ensure you are opening the PDF using the PDF Reader, otherwise you may get an error message or a blank PDF. Edge is set to default to open a PDF in the browser. To avoid this, click the drop-down arrow next to the downloaded file and choose ‘Always open with…(PDF Reader)’ or right-click the file and open with the PDF Reader.
