What is PDF file?


The very first thing you need to know what is PDF. PDF stands for Portable Document Format. A PDF file can be read anywhere just by using PDF viewer. To view PDF file, there are several programs available over the net. The most interesting thing is that the almost all PDF viewers are free of charge!! 

The two widely used PDF viewers are: Adobe Reader and Foxit Reader
Which one should I use? Good question. 

You can use any of the two. If your disk space is low, then use Foxit Reader. But if you have more disk space use Adobe Reader. With adobe reader you will find some more options. Nothing else. 

You can convert your file into PDF from several program. For example, you can convert a file into PDF from MS Word, Excel, Power Point and so many.
