Adobe® Portable Document Format (PDF) is the open
de facto standard for electronic document distribution worldwide. Adobe
PDF is a universal file format that preserves all of the fonts, formatting,
colors, and graphics of any source document, regardless of the application
and platform used to create it. PDF files are compact and can be shared,
viewed, navigated, and printed exactly as intended by anyone with a free
Adobe Acrobat®
Reader™. You can convert any document to Adobe PDF, even scanned
paper, using Adobe
Acrobat 4.0 software.
 Adobe
PDF is the ideal format for electronic document distribution because it
transcends the problems commonly encountered in electronic file sharing.
Common Problems:
- Recipients can't open files because they don't
have the applications used to create the documents.
- Formatting, fonts, and graphics are lost due to
platform, software, and version incompatibilities.
- Documents don't print correctly because of software
or printer limitations.
Adobe PDF Solutions:
- Anyone, anywhere can open a PDF file. All you need
is the free Acrobat Reader.
- PDF files always display exactly as created, regardless
of fonts, software, and operating systems.
- PDF files always print correctly on any printing
device.
Adobe PDF also offers the following benefits:
- PDF files can be published and distributed anywhere:
in print, attached to e-mail, on corporate servers, posted on Web sites,
or on CD-ROM.
- The free Acrobat Reader is easy to download from
our Web site and can be freely distributed by anyone. More than 110
million copies have been downloaded or preloaded onto PCs.
- Compact PDF files are smaller than their source
files and download a page at a time for fast display on the Web.
- Using Acrobat 4.0 software, bookmarks, cross-document
links, Web links, live forms, security options, sound, and video can
be added to PDF files for enhanced online viewing.What's the bottom
line? If you share documents electronically, you should be doing it
in Adobe PDF.
