Most Murphy product sales bulletins and installation/operation manuals are published as .PDF (portable document format) files. Compared with the original source documents, PDF files are usually smaller in size, allowing quicker download/display without significant loss of print quality, and are more portable, giving consistent page layout on more devices.

To display these files, your computer must be loaded with PDF viewing software such as Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader. The basic Reader version of this software is available as a free-of-charge download from Adobe: click here to transfer to the Adobe Acrobat Reader web page, and follow the instructions for download and installation.

Once installed correctly, Adobe Acrobat/Reader should automatically run when selecting (or hyperlinking to) a PDF file - clicking on a product link usually causes the PDF file to display within your browser. The Acrobat/Reader program or browswer plug-in also usually displays a toolbar at the top of the Window: use the toolbar buttons to print the PDF document, save it to disk, resize the display, etc.

The size of our PDF documents is between 50 Kb and several Mb, and the download/viewing time will therefore vary. Documents with higher graphical/bitmap content are typically larger. If you have problems downloading or viewing the information, please contact our technical support staff, who will be able to email, fax or post the documents to you.

Paper size

Most Murphy literature is designed for printing on US Letter paper (8" wide by 11" high). Printing to A4 paper (210mm x 297mm) will occasionally cause slight cut-off of information in the margins: if your printer driver has a "shrink to fit" feature, select this feature to avoid cut-off when printing on A4 paper.
