Help Center - Do I need any special software to use PBS?

Search Terms:

No.  No new software is required to use PBS.  However, there are two downloads that we do recommend for the optimal PBS experience: Adobe Acrobat Reader and Firefox.

Details below.


  • The FREE Adobe Acrobat Reader will be necessary if you plan to download and print the  PBS wrapper .pdf file.
    • If you don't want to download the wrapper file, you can access the address file using the backup wrapper link, which will show you the address on a printable (or hand-copyable) webpage.

  • We recommend that our members use Firefox to access PBS. 
    • Firefox is a FREE browser, and is the most stable and secure browser we have found.  It is the browser of choice for the PBS Team.  
    • Most PaperBackSwap login problems can be solved by using Firefox. 
    • There are also some site features that non-Firefox users will not see, but these do not affect the use of the site.
