What is Adobe PDF?
Adobe PDF stands for Portable Document Format and is manufactured by Adobe. It is used for exchanging page data and has become universally accepted as the standard format for such exchange. For example, the U.S. Government Printing Office formats the Federal Register Online in Adobe PDF. Most online applications and tax forms are also formatted in Adobe PDF. All browsers now come with the tools necessary for opening a document formatted in Adobe PDF the Adobe plug-in (PDFViewer) and the Adobe Reader. But if for some reason your browser doesn t come with these tools, you may go to adobe.com and download them.
