If you are using your own device, install FileOpen

If you will be downloading Australian Standards to your own computer, laptop or phone, you will need to install software to open or print Australian Standards due to DRM (Digital Rights Management). SAI Global has provided answers to Frequently Asked Questions.

On Windows, Mac or Linux:

1. Install the free Adobe Acrobat Reader (Note: Adobe may prompt you to create a free Adobe ID with your email address)
2. Install the free FileOpen plug-in

You can check whether the FileOpen plug-in is installed by opening the Adobe software and clicking on "Help" and "About Third-Party Plug-Ins". (If the plug-in isn't there, try closing and reopening the Adobe software.)

On an iPad, iPhone or Android:

• There's no need to install any Adobe apps
• Just install the free FileOpen Viewer app
