PORTABLE DOCUMENT
FORMAT (PDF)
Developed by Adobe,
PDF files are viewable and usable across many different platforms. You
can read and print a Macintosh generated document from your Windows-based
machine.
Font and graphic
information is embedded in the PDF file.
PDF files are based
on PostScript, so they print well on almost all printers.
PDF is the format
used by the Federal Government for online versions of the Federal Register
and online copies of tax forms.
Adobe has a free
PDF reader called Adobe Acrobat Reader which will allow you to use PDF
files. You can download Adobe Acrobat Reader at: http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/readstep.html
