PDF stands for Portable Document Format. It's a specification by Adobe.

There are couple of viewers for the PDF files: AcroBat Reader and Acrobat
Exchange.
The current Acrobat Exchange has a plug in to support Hyperlink with the
help of Netscape
client program.

What is ``PDF''? I've heard that it's a Web formatting language.
Where can I get more information about it? Thanks in advance.
