Need Help About PDFs? About PDF & PDF Files

Portable Document Format (PDF) is the de facto standard for the secure and reliable distribution and exchange of electronic documents and forms around the world. PDF is a universal file format that preserves the fonts, images, graphics, and layout of any source document, regardless of the application and platform used to create it. Adobe PDF files are compact and complete, and can be shared, viewed, and printed by anyone with free Adobe Reader software. To date, more than 500 million copies of the software have been distributed.

Governments and enterprises around the world have adopted PDF to streamline document management, increase productivity, and reduce reliance on paper.

A good deal of information is available on this website in PDF format and you will need to have the Adobe Reader installed on your browser in order to access these files.
