PDF output format requires Acrobat Reader.  This is a free Product from Adobe Systems and you can get it here:

Map layers show on the left hand side of the GIS Website page.  Not all layers will appear in the list for all Zoom levels.  You can maximize and minimize entries on the layers list by clicking on the " " and "-" signs next to the folder icons for each group of map layers.  Turn layers ON and OFF with the check-mark box

Some layers (e.g. Parcel Text, Contours, Soils) will automatically appear in the list when zooming in and likewise, disappear when too much detail would obscure the map view.
