About Adobe Acrobat
Adobe Acrobat was the first software to support Adobe Systems' Portable Document Format. It is mostly described in those entries. The Acrobat Reader program (now just called Adobe Reader) is available as a no-charge download from Adobe's web site, and allows the viewing and printing of PDF files. Commercial Acrobat programs (of which there are several) allows some minimal editing and adding of features to PDF documents, and come with other modules including a printer driver to create PDF files from Macintosh or Microsoft Windows applications.
