About Adobe Acrobat

Adobe PDF is the global standard for trusted distribution and viewing of information. Invented by Adobe Systems and perfected over 15 years, Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) enables the capture and viewing of robust information - from any application, on any computer system - and share it with anyone around the world. Individuals, businesses, and government agencies everywhere trust and rely on Adobe® PDF to communicate their ideas and vision.

PDF documents are viewable and printable on any platform — Macintosh, Microsoft® Windows®, UNIX®, and many mobile platforms.

Adobe Reader is free software that allows people to view PDFs and more securely collaborate using PDF documents. It is supplied as standard on most computer operating systems and the latest version of Adobe Reader software is always available to download free from the Adobe website at www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html or wherever you see the Get Adobe Reader icon.
