Many documents are
converted into Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) for distribution electronically over
the internet. The Adobe PDF system preserves the original appearance and layout of the
document, so is ideal for converting documents such as leaflets, reports etc. The
Adobe® Acrobat® [version 4.0] software allows you to carry out such conversions. Most
reputable software dealers can supply the software (around £200) or contact Adobe direct.
To enable end users to easily view PDF documents, Adobe have produced a separate
Acrobat File Reader. This software wont allow you to create PDF files but will allow you
to view and print them. Many files available through the AIE site are stored in PDF
format, so an Acrobat Reader is an essential item.
The latest version of the program can be downloaded free of charge from the Adobe site.
