Why
create PDF documents?General:
- A
PDF file will look pretty much the same on other computers and print
the same on printers other than the one that was used by the author.
- Those
who are reading the document do not have to have the original software
used to create the file; they just need a copy of the freely
distributed Adobe Reader software.
- Adobe Acrobat
PDF files are cross platform; this means that people who are using
Macintosh, Windows, and Unix computers can all view and print the same
PDF files.
- Often, a PDF file is smaller than the
original document used to create it.
- Risk of virus
transmission is much smaller when using PDF for document exchange via
email as opposed to Microsoft Office files.
- You can
embed links to multimedia such as sound files and movie clips; color
pictures can be easily and cheaply included.
- If you
complete a PDF form created by someone else, you can save the form for
future use. You can export data from a saved form and import data to a
new form.
- With the Professional version of Acrobat,
you can create your own forms that look like the originals; when opened
in Adobe Reader, the user can complete the form and print it out-it
will then appear as if the person used a typewriter.
Pre-Press:
Adobe Acrobat PDF documents are useful for those who send their
brochures, newsletters, journal articles, etc. off to be printed by a
professional printing company or a publisher. The printer can send you
back a PDF version of what the item will look like when it is
published; this method is often faster and more accurate than paper
drafts or page proofs. Some printers accept PDF files as the source
material for their printing; the printer then doesn’t have to have the
fonts or original application that was used to create the document.
Collaborative
Writing: PDF files are a useful way to jointly edit a document. The
files can be easily shared via email attachments or from a web server.
Acrobat tools such as sticky notes, highlighter, and pencil can be used
to add comments or call attention to items that need correction. All
collaborators who want to mark up the PDF file must have a copy of the
Adobe Acrobat software.
