To find an article (Simple search): Enter a few title words and/or author names and/or abstract words into the "Search or Article-id" box in the top right of most pages. The pull-down menu that defaults to "All papers" may be changed to restrict the search to titles, authors, abstracts, or extend to the full-text.

If you know the identifier (or archive and paper number): All arXiv submissions are assigned a unique identifier of the form yymm.nnnn (or arch-ive/yymmnnn for older submissions). To retrieve the abstract page of a paper simply enter the identifier in the "Search or Article-id" box in the top right of most pages.

Using the web interface, you can search for articles based on archive subject area, title, author, keywords in the full abstracts, etc.

Upon loading the abstract page for an article, you will find a number of choices for download formats. These selections appear in the top right corner of the page, after the text of the abstract.
