Portable Document
software takes an original file, including images, graphics, tables and
text that is bold, underlined, italicized and displayed with multiple
font sizes and appearances and creates a specially coded file. The resulting
PDF file contains all the information needed to display the original file
just as originally created, complete with all the nuances of the original
document, including graphics and text styles.
PDF browser software
(Acrobat Reader or Acrobat 4.0) permits searching the documents for occurrences
of particular words, phrases or numbers that interest you. You can also
make printouts of all or part of the documents as text only, or with all
graphics and styles, to the limits of your print device. To use a PDF
file, a reader program must be installed on your computer to display,
print and navigate through the PDF file. Adobe Acrobat Reader is available
for download
free from Adobe's Web site at www.adobe.com.
An Adobe Acrobat reader
plug-in is available for most of the popular web browsers, enabling the
browser to use and display PDF files inline, one page at a time, while
the document is still downloading. Please see applicable licenses for
use of the reader and plug-in programs.
