About Adobe Acrobat
PDF documents (created in Adobe Acrobat) keep fonts, formatting, colours and images intact regardless of which platform or software application you use, so the documents you view on screen will have the same look and feel as they do in hard-copy format. All you need to view and print your documents is the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software. It's easy to download from the Adobe site. Once you get a copy, you can distribute it yourself to as many people as you like so that they to can view and print PDF documents.
