# Visual Guide for Downloading Adobe Acrobat R DC + Viewing DC

To properly view or verify signed documents, especially those notarized through BlueNotary, we recommend using **Adobe Acrobat**.

The first step to viewing your documents in Adobe Acrobat DC is making sure you have the software. Luckily, this is available to [download](https://get.adobe.com/reader/) for free online!

Click to download and wait a moment while the installer finishes. You'll be asked to confirm the plug-in as a final step.

Now when you open documents downloaded from online, they will open via the Adobe plug-in in your browser!

Prefer to work within the Adobe app itself? Open a new Files (Finder for Mac) window, right click the .pdf document, and select Open With. Simply select Adobe Acrobat from the list and you're done!
