The link to the "PDF" files provides a format which is viewable/printable using the Adobe Acrobat Reader program. The PDF form is a larger file and requires more time to download to your computer.    If you do not have a broadband connection to the internet (DSL, Cable, or other high speed internet connection), you'll probably prefer the "graphic file" (not the PDF) text version of the sermon files.
