About Adobe Acrobat Documents

Adobe Acrobat is a computer program that enables documents created on different types of computers and using different software to be viewed by anyone regardless of the type of computer used (Macintosh - including Power PC, Windows, DOS or Unix platforms).

Acrobat documents are saved in Portable Document Format (.PDF) and are generally smaller than the files from which they were created, so it takes less time to view them on the Internet.

They look exactly as they were designed by the creator, complete with the original layouts, fonts, and graphics.

However, to view .PDF documents you will need to install a copy of the Adobe Acrobat Reader program onto your computer.

The Adobe Acrobat Reader program is available free-of-charge. With this software, you can view and print documents saved in .PDF format.

In addition, you will be able to search through and 'navigate' around these documents with ease.

Most Web browsers (such as Internet Explorer and Netscape) will be automatically configured to start the Adobe Acrobat Reader program whenever you encounter a .PDF document on the Web.
