Adobe PDF documents

The Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) was developed by the Adobe company to provide a universal file format that preserves the fonts, formatting and graphics of a source document, regardless of what platform or application was used to create it. PDF files can be shared, viewed and printed by anyone with a free Adobe Acrobat Reader. We’ve provided this basic primer on PDFs because many PrintMusic users want to create PDFs: to publish on the Web, to E-mail to a friend, to give to publishers for further formatting, or to give to a print shop for printing. In order to *create* PDFs, you will need to buy Adobe Acrobat. For more information about these products, please visit Adobe’s website at www.adobe.com.
