pdf is a fileformat such as .html or .doc or .gif .jpeg etc....
It was developed to print out documents on various platforms (such as Linux, Win2000, WinXP, OS2, Apple,etx.) without losing the EXACT Format of the documents, which means, it doesn't matter where you view or print out those documents, you ever get the same RESULT.
THis is the same reason why almost all ebooks you can get are in that pdf format!! Because you can print it out or view it on your monitor and you will see EXACT the same information as the one who has compiled that information!!!
Compare PDF as a Microsoft Word Document (.doc). To generate PDF files you need tools such as PDFFACTORY or Acrobat Distiller. Or the full ADOBE ACROBAT 5 or 6 Pack ....
To view PDF Files you need the Acrobat Reader 5 or the new 6 version which can be downloaded for free at
