These browsers are generally defaulted to their own PDF viewers rather than Adobe Reader. Using Internet Explorer will usually resolve the issue; otherwise there are three options available:

  1. Reconfigure your browser [exit DNR] to work with the Adobe Reader or Acrobat plug-in, or

  3. Contact us and we will mail your permit to you.
