Why Use PDF?
PDFs are:
- Complete - They contain all the fonts, graphics, and page layout information necessary to display and print your file exactly as it was designed.
- Compact - PDF supports a variety of compression methods to create smaller files for easier transmission while retaining image quality.
- Portable - PDFs are platform and device independent. Files can be viewed on any computing platforms (i.e. Macintosh, Windows, Unix) and printed with high quality on any Adobe PostScript 3 output device.
- Reliable - How you see your PDF is how everyone else will see it. No fonts or graphics will be missed in packaging the files. It's all stored in one file.
Many programs export files as PDFs, check the help section of your program for information on PDF. Adobe also has an online PDF creator, but does charge a monthly fee for use.
