Many materials on the Internet are available as PDF files. Many Extension bulletins and other publications are available in this format. However, to view the documents you will need a suitable copy of the Adobe Acrobat Reader program. With this software, you can view or print the materials. In addition, you will be able to search through and 'navigate' around the documents with ease.
Acrobat documents can contain multiple pages in the same file, just like a book.
They cannot be saved with graphics in tact. Acrobat files are whole entities. Acrobat files can be easily stored, collected, or archived as reference materials with ease. Acrobat documents can be printed or viewed on-screen and will look the same. HTML web pages will be reformatted in print to fit the paper.
