Abstract
Adobe PDF files, or Portable Document Format files, are popular in distance learning because they provide a cross-platform solution for presenting content, including words, images, tables, and forms. Adobe provides its Acrobat Reader software, which allows users to view PDF files, as a free download (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readermain.html). This has made PDF files popular enough to be commonplace on the web. PDF provides content developers with the assurance that their document will have a consistent look and feel, regardless of the operating system.
