A PORTABLE DOCUMENT FORMAT (PDF) FILE
is a type of file that has been specifically designed to look the same on the computer screen and when printed, no matter what kind of computer or printer you are using and no matter what type of software was used to create the original document.

The information stored in a PDF file—including the formatting, fonts, and images from the original document—is highly compressed, enabling quick and efficient downloading.

PDF files can be viewed and printed by most computer users with Adobe Reader Software. To download the free Acrobat® Reader, visit Adobe’s web site:
