Adobe Acrobat PDF Creation (e-book)

PDF refers to Adobe Acrobat's Portable Document Format. This is a file format that can be read on any system using Adobe Acrobat Reader. (Adobe Reader is free to download here.) A PDF can be viewed on most major operating systems while retaining the original document formatting. This makes it an ideal format for e-publishing as well as printing, and it has become an industry standard.

With an Adobe Acrobat PDF, you can:

sell your book as an e-book
send your formatted book to a printer
publish your book to the web

PDFs can also be password protected so that others cannot:

open the document without a password
print the document without a password
make changes to the document without a master password
copy or extract text without a master password
add or change comments or form fields without a master password
