Many resources are available in more than one format.  For example, if you click on the title of the resource, such as "General Information about Divorce", an html (web) document will open.  However, after the description you will notice the PDF icon that indicates this resources is also offered in that format.  PDF format is best for printing.  PDF files that contain court forms are print-only and the forms cannot be filled-in online.  If the resource is offered in another language, a link to the translation will be there as well.
