Adobe has developed a file format, known as PDF, which allows for transfer of documents without loss of original formatting. A file is in PDF format if it ends with .PDF. To view PDF files, Adobe provides Acrobat Reader free of charge. Acrobat Reader is part of our standard setup, so most new computers will have Acrobat Reader.

If you do not have Acrobat Reader, please go to

to download Acrobat Reader as provided by Adobe.

The PDF format has become increasing popular and will continue to do so because of the versatility it provides to Web users. If you have any questions concerning this format, please go to the Adobe Home Page for more information or ask the IAS-CSS staff.
