Adobe Systems created the Portable Document Format (PDF) to support the distribution of documents that appear exactly the same way across all operating systems. As long as you have a PDF viewing application, such as Adobe Reader, installed on your computer, you can view and print the content contained in PDF files using the exact formatting defined by their authors. Installing version 8.1.3 of Adobe Reader is a quick process, thanks to the setup program's step-by-step instructions.
