PDF has become universally accepted as a standard format for storage, presentation, and distribution. Users can view, navigate, and print documents using the free Adobe Reader software. Thanks to the internet, many users are already familiar with PDF documents. PDF captures the exact look-and-feel of your actual document, preserving fonts, format, and signatures. Your documents look the same on any PC and over the internet and they print accurately on any printer.

PDF files can be made searchable allowing users to quickly search for text within documents. Bookmarks, hypertext links, and thumbnail views aid in navigating through files. The use of document information fields can assist in quick and easy retrieval.

PDF files can be opened in any computer, including handheld PDAs regardless of the operating systems.
