I recently posted about Foxit Reader, a free program capable of viewing PDF files, and I briefly touched on some of the advantages of using this type of file.
PDF stands for Portable Document Format, meaning that files saved as PDF documents are “portable” in that they can be safely transferred from one computer to another (and across different operating systems) and keep a consistent look. In other words, if you’re on a PC, you can send a file to a friend who uses a Mac without the need to worry about how the document will be displayed.
