Information about the PDF Format

Document exchange software from Adobe that allows documents created on one platform to be displayed and printed exactly the same on another no matter which fonts are installed in the computer. The fonts are embedded within the Acrobat document, which is known as a PDF (Portable Document Format) file, thus eliminating the requirement that the target machine contain the same fonts.The PDF Writer in Acrobat turns most DOS, Windows, UNIX and Mac documents to the PDF format by taking the print stream and converting it. The Distiller function takes more complicated PostScript files and creates PDF files.
