A: PDF (Portable Document Format) is a file format that has captured all the elements of a printed document as an electronic image that you can view, navigate, print, or forward to someone else. PDF files are especially useful for documents such as magazine articles, product brochures, or flyers in which you want to preserve the original graphic appearance online.
Q02: How do I open or read PDF files?
A: You must have a reader application to open PDF files. Free PDF Viewer for Windows has made PDF files a widely accepted standard. To open or read PDF files, download Free PDF Viewer for Windows. Once installed, you will have the option to automatically open the PDF files in the reader.
Q03: Does PDF can be used across platforms?
A: A PDF File is a document format that represents a document in a manner independent of the hardware, operating system and application software used to create the document. It was designed to enable documents to be transferred and shared across computer platforms. If your system uses multiple platforms it is not a problem when using PDF Files. A PDF document created in one platform such as Windows can be read in another platform such as Macintosh or Unix. This cross platform acceptability makes PDF the document of choice to use over a network.
Q04: What is the size requirement when Compress a scanned image into a PDF file?
A: For example, a typed 8 1/2x11 letter is approximately 1,000 kilobytes in size when scanned into the system but compresses to 28-33 kilobytes when converted into a PDF document. An electronic document converted into a PDF document compresses to approximately 25% of its original size. For example, a 20KB word processing document is compressed to under 5KB. This allows the PDF document to open quickly at the workstation and is ideal for use on a network.
Q05:Why is the PDF file printing at a different size than I expected?
A: There is an option called "fit to page" which can shrink or expand a PDF file in unexpected ways. If you have a letter-sized PDF file printing to letter-sized paper, the "fit to page" option may print the PDF file a little smaller because it is adding margins around the outside edge to make sure the entire PDF file appears on the printout.
Q06: Will PDF files pass the test of time and change?
A: The PDF document format was originally developed by Adobe for the U.S. Federal Government to store its legacy files. In fact, today the U.S. Federal Government is still the largest user of PDF technology. In 2000, the U.S. Federal Courts adopted the PDF File as their electronic document format. Most individuals have encountered the PDF format when downloading electronic tax forms from the IRS. This wide use of the government to archive and share their documents virtually guarantees the PDF file will be around for the long term.
Q07: I cannot preview or convert my PDF, why not?
A: Because the PDF specification is an open and very versatile format that may be authored by a multitude of vendors, predicting the behavior of every document would be impossible without feedback from our users. If you are unable to accurately convert your document, you may alternatively attempt to "re-distill" your PDF to a more compliant encoding.
Q08: What are the different types of PDF?
A: There are two different types of PDF files, native and scanned. A native PDF has been converted directly from an electronic file, such as a Microsoft Word document; a scanned PDF is one that has been created by scanning a physical paper document through a scanner to produce an image of the document. Native PDFs are more flexible in that you can copy information, such as text, and paste it elsewhere, but scanned PDFs have very limited flexibility.
Q09: How can I convert my PDF to Word?
A: Free PDF Viewer for Windows is a great solution for converting PDF's into other formats for editing. It provides a few tools to help convert from PDF to Microsoft Word and Excel, JPG, HTML as well as a variety of image formats is currently available.
Q10: How does PDF compatible with website?
