Creating PDF Documents
The creation of PDF files (Portable Document Files) with Adobe Acrobat is easy.
Instead of printing your document to a 'printer' you select the Adobe PDF Printer. Make sure that you know the location where you place the completed pdf file.
The file name will be the same as the name of your original document.
When linking PDF files from a web page give the page viewer knowledge that
it is a PDF document with this logo
