How to Buy Adobe Reader Software

When emailing documents to other users, a file may lose its formatting in the process. This is where PDFs come in. A PDF is, for the most part, a locked-in format that holds onto the documents formatting, even when emailed. The only issue is that, without a PDF reader, the file is useless. However, Adobe, a leader in software programing, has a free software call "Adobe Reader."

Click "Save File" and Adobe Reader will now download from the website. The file is about 25 MB so it may take a few minutes to download, depending on your Internet speed.
