Print out a PDF document with a few mouse clicks.

Adobe Reader is a software application that is used to open, read and print PDF files. Adobe developed the Portable Document File format in 1993. One advantage of this file format is that multiple pages and images can be packed into a single file and conveniently emailed or distributed. Some digital books are published in PDF format. Opening a PDF file for reading is usually as simple as clicking on the PDF, which causes the Adobe Reader to auto-start. Printing a document in Adobe Reader is almost as easy.
