Alls favorite adobe. Review on Adobe Reader

Adobe Systems created a number of software programs that allow users to view, create, manipulate, print and manage files in Portable Document Format(PDF), including  Acrobat Reader(formerly Adobe Reader).  PDF can be used to:

• Share files with other users who don't have the same software

• Share files with users who use a different platform(Mac, Windows, Linux, etc.)

• Share files that will look the same(layout, fonts) on multiple computer systems

• Share files that can be protected from unauthorized viewing, printing, copying, or editing

• Publish electronic documents, ebooks, etc.

• Print files to many different types of printers, which will all look essentially the same

• Create files with annotations, hyperlinks, and bookmarks that can be shared via email and on the Web

• Create interactive forms that can be shared via email and the Web

There are many different types of software available from Adobe, some of which are free of charge and some of which have a cost.  I use only the free software as I find this is sufficient for my needs.  Adobe PDF documents are compatible with all my equipment and devices.  Both my Canon scanner and my HP scanner/printer allow me to copy a document and save it as a PDF which can then be shared with other users with the characteristics(pictures, fonts, etc.) of the original document captured and transmitted.

PDF documents are used in many places and an Acrobat Reader is required to access them.  The various levels of Government use PDF documents to facilitate online applications, banks and other organizations use PDF documents to reduce paper waste.  To access these documents an Acrobat Reader is required so this software has become a necessary and vital program to download.  Adobe provides regular free-of-charge updates that can be downloaded from their website to keep my software version current.
