Many large reports and forms are published as PDF files, and require the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to read.
PDF documents look very much like the original printed pages in books. Since it is very easy to convert printed material into PDF files, they are often used by organizations which have a lot of existing printed material they want to make available on the Internet. You will often find PDF files on Canadian government sites.
To be able to read PDF files:
- First, check the system requirements.
- Then, download the free Adobe Acrobat Reader from Adobe Systems Incorporated.
- Once you have the Adobe Acrobat Reader installed, it will automatically open when you click on a link to a file with a .pdf extension.
