    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.
