IconPortable Document Format (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.
Many documents on the Clute Institute web site are published using
Adobe's® Portable
