Adobe's Acrobat Reader is a plugin for browsers that allows you to view, navigate and print PDF (portable document format) files on all major computer platforms. PDF files preserve the look of the original document, including fonts, colors, images and formatting. You can then distribute a PDF file anywhere to be viewed and printed exactly as intended on any computer using the Acrobat Reader.
