Adobe Acrobat PDF

Adobe Acrobat is great it lets you create Portable Document Format or PDF files. These files can be used on any platform; Windows, OSX, Linux, BeOS, and many more. Another benefit is that the size of the document is smaller than a typical Rich Text Format or Microsoft Word document. This makes PDF an excellent choice for documents that will be transmitted over the internet. Another advantage to these documents is that Acrobat Reader(the standard viewer) cannot edit them, so when someone is viewing the document that is all they can do, they can not edit it. Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional allows you to create original documents as well as convert existing one. You should note that if you are planning on obtaining this software plan on spending at least $135, Adobe products are not cheap. How ever if you only wish to convert existing documents, here is a website that will do it for free. Doc2PDF Online. You simply upload the Microsoft Word or Rich Text Format document you wish to convert and enter you e-mail address(spam free), then in a few minutes a PDF version of your document is e-mailed to you. I personally with use this website more than I will use Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional.
