Product Platform Last Updated Filename | Introduction to Acrobat Reader What's Covered Description of Adobe Acrobat Reader Description of Adobe Acrobat Reader Adobe Acrobat Reader is free, and freely distributable, software that lets you view and print Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Acrobat Reader also lets you fill in and submit PDF forms online. Acrobat Reader is available for the following platforms: In Windows and Mac OS, Acrobat Reader is available in these 12 languages: Description of Adobe Acrobat Reader + Search Acrobat Reader + Search is an expanded version of Acrobat Reader that lets you search a collection of PDF files on a CD-ROM or a local file system. It comprises Acrobat Reader and two Acrobat plug-ins: Acrobat Search and AutoIndx. To search a collection of files, Acrobat Reader + Search requires an index file created by Acrobat Catalog, one of the applications included with Adobe Acrobat. (Adobe Acrobat is a different product than Acrobat Reader. See the "Description of Adobe Acrobat" section below.) Like Acrobat Reader, Acrobat Reader + Search is free and freely distributable. Description of PDF PDF is an acronym for "Portable Document Format." PDF is a file format created by Adobe that lets you view and print a file exactly as the author designed it, without needing to have the same application or fonts used to create the file. Since its introduction in 1993, PDF has become an Internet standard for electronic distribution that faithfully preserves the look and feel of the original document complete with fonts, colors, images, and layout. Before the PDF file format existed, people exchanging electronic documents needed to have the same application and fonts used to create the documents to see them exactly the way they were designed. Now, you can create PDF files using Adobe Acrobat. (Note: Adobe Acrobat is not the same thing as Adobe Acrobat Reader. See the "Description of Adobe Acrobat" section below.) You can then deliver PDF files to your readers, and they can view and print them, exactly as you designed them, using free Adobe Acrobat Reader software. Here is an example of a typical use for PDF files: The PDF file format offers many advantages, including: For more details about the Adobe PDF file format, see About Adobe PDF on Adobe's Web site. Description of Adobe Acrobat Acrobat Reader and Acrobat Reader + Search enable you to view and print PDF files, but that is just a small part of what you can do with PDF. To create and enhance PDF files, you must purchase and use the Adobe Acrobat package. For more information about the Adobe Acrobat package, see the Acrobat section of Adobe's Web site. Obtaining Acrobat Reader You can download a free copy of Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Reader + Search from any of the following Internet locations:
