Creating a PDF From a File Using Adobe Acrobat

PDF files have become one of the most popular ways to share files. Businesses often distribute documents in the PDF formats. And it is common for manufacturers to use PDFs for instruction manuals.

PDFs are popular because they retain formatting from machine to machine, regardless of operating system. They can be read using popular free software like Adobe Reader.
