Convert documents to PDF

Part of the Acrobat Family: Pro Extended - Pro - Standard Pro Extended Pro Standard

Easily create Adobe PDF documents that preserve the formatting and integrity of the original file

PDF was invented by Adobe in 1990 and is now an open standard (ISO 32000), trusted worldwide as the format of choice for electronic documents and forms. In the course of normal business, you probably encounter PDF documents on a daily basis — for example, whenever you need to share critical information with colleagues or clients but don't want to share the native file. Or whenever you need to protect a file so that others cannot change it.

With Adobe® Acrobat® 9 software, you can easily convert documents, spreadsheets, e-mail, websites, video, technical drawings, and 3D designs to more secure PDF files.
