This is the format of the certificates downloads page:
On each certificate, you can either copy the PEM text from each of the certificates that you need, or you can click on the Download certificate icon next to the boxes to download a PEM encoded *.crt file. The method that you choose may vary on the server type you are installing the certificate on.
There are also advanced download options at the bottom of the page.
PEM with chain - This downloads a PEM encoded *.crt that includes all the certificates in the chain with the root certificate at the bottom. If you open this file using a text editor, you can see this.
DER (bincary encoded) - This downloads a DER encoded *.crt file. This is a binary encoded version of the certificate which cannot be viewed in a text editor. Some servers require you to install DER instead of PEM.
P7C - This downloads a P7C file of all the certificates bundled together. This file can be changed to *.p7b if that is also required.
