"Documents produced using the PDF (Portable Document Format) format can be read/viewed on many different computer operating systems/platforms. You must have a specialized application to create documents in the PDF format.

You must have a specialized application to create documents in the PDF format. Why would a PDF formatted document be useful to you? Example: You own a computer running Microsoft's Windows and a friend, co-worker or customer owns an Apple/Macintosh computer. You want to share a document (letter, invoice, term paper, product order form, spec sheet, RMA) with this individual. Convert the documents you want to share to the PDF format. Send the document to it's intended recipient via e-mail.

Include a link in your e-mail to a PDF reader application like Foxit Reader. The person you want to share your document with could then downloaded and install Foxit Reader. Once installed Foxit Reader would allow your document to be viewed, printed and or faxed back to you as needed. Any documents (Example: order form, spec sheet) you create in the .PDF format could also be made available and viewed, saved or printed from your Web site if you have one."
