PDF (Portable Document Format) is a way to send any document that most people will be able to open. Not everyone has Word, Appleworks or Excel, but if you’re on the web, you probably have a PDF reader. If you plan to post documents on your website or send a document in an email, PDF format is a way to ensure the recipient will be able to open and read the document.

When you create a PDF, an exact copy is made of your original document. To open the PDF document a PDF reader, such as Adobe Reader, is required to read the file. These PDF readers are usually free and easy to install.
