What is PDF?


Almost all of the e-books are .pdf in format and a very few of them are in .JPEG or other. I will try to introduce pdf reader in this post. PDF is stand for portable document format. This format of file is more popular due to the lightness of files that means pdf files are lightweight and can read using very low configured computer. A lots of pdf reader software are available and most of them are free such as Adobe Acrobat reader and Fox Reader.

Adobe reader is mostly used pdf reader software and it is free for all users for life time. You can easily download this software from the official website of Adobe Inc and can run on your pc reading e-books that are pdf in format. You can also convert your word and graphical document to the pdf file for reducing memory and can beautify outlook of your documents. However, software for creating pdf files is not free. You must need to pay for buying this type of pdf creator software. You can also use your MS Office Word to save your office documents as pdf. For doing this you have to download a small extension from Microsoft website. This extension software is fully free. You can also use online free web pdf converter for converting your document to pdf in the case of immergence and unavailability of PC use.

For reader is another popular pdf reader and it is used secondly after Adobe reader around the world. Fox reader uses same technology as adobe.

More info about PDF and how to read PDF are available in online. You can have some research on Adobe website or can use Google to get more info about this type of file and usefulness of this type of format.
