What does “PDF” or “PDF Format” mean?
Much of the information on this site is provided in Portable Document Format (PDF) files. This has become the industry standard for web site documents. Using Adobe Acrobat, it is possible for a web master to convert virtually any file format (such as Word, WordPerfect, PowerPoint, etc.) to a PDF file. That way, any computer containing an Adobe Reader can access the PDF file, rather than having to be loaded with all the various other software products. PDF files can be read by MAC computers, as well as computers operating under Windows or other operating systems.
