About Adobe PDF
Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) is standard for electronic document
distribution worldwide. Adobe PDF is a universal file format that preserves the
exact look and feel of any source document, including all of the fonts, formatting,
colors, and graphics, regardless of the application and platform used to create it.
Adobe PDF files can be opened reliably across a broad range of hardware and
software with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader® software.
Adobe PDF is a standard on the World Wide Web and is also used to distribute
electronic documents over corporate networks, via e-mail, and on CD-ROM.
Many corporations, educational institutions, and government agencies use
Adobe PDF to distribute documents to the public or to groups within their
organizations. Adobe PDF is also gaining tremendous popularity as the basis for
new e-business and e-government processes. Its support for electronic forms,
digital signatures, password security, and electronic mark-ups make it the ideal
platform for converting yesterday's paper-based business processes to fully inter-
active digital processes.
