Almost every Web user has opened a PDF, but how many can say what that means? PDF stands for Portable Document Format – a standard file format that allows Web publishers to post documents viewable by any user who installs a copy of the free Acrobat Reader. The PDF version of a document captures original formatting and looks the same as it did in the program in which it was created. So you can see the document in its original form regardless of the kind of computer or software you have.
