If you need to download Acrobat Reader, you can do so online.
When the PDF File opens in Acrobat, make sure you click the "Bookmarks" tab in the upper left hand corner that will open the Bookmarks window. This will allow you to navigate through the legislation by year and specific pieces of legislation. Use the search function/button (also in the "edit" menu) to search for text, words etc in Solomon. Don't use the find option as this will be less useful.
You can also download this file for future use and reference.
