PDF is a Portable Document Formula; It makes all documents standard so if you're writing in Word the person doesn't have to have the same settings or even the same program to read your file.  To read a PDF go to:\nhttp://www.adobe.com \nand download for free.  It works, really.  Didn't used to all the time, but is great now. You download, it's free

An acrobat file is a pdf, called portable document format.

PDFs are harder although not impossible to edit.  If I am sending you an important file that I don't want you changing, you can easily change it in Word, although not as easily as PDF.\n\nPDFs are easy to post as is as web pages.

I just opened a PDF and I clicked on the TEXT SELECT TOOL, an image with a T with a dotted square beside it (Keyboard Shortcut is V) and I was able to highlight all the text and copy it.\n\nI hope this is helpful.

Depends on 2 broad things:\n1. Whether pdf is secured, in that case you can not copy it (unless you use some softwares which I would not recommend as that will be hacking)...use Print Screen option in that case \n2. If its not protected, you can use the image tool bar in pdf window and select on the image, it will automatically get copied then just paste wherevere you want.

You need a converter.\n\nHere are some programs\n\nhttp://www.solidpdf.com/\nhttp://www.verypdf.com/pdf2word/help/help.html\nhttp://www.pdf995.com/\n\nPDF995 is free but will only convert text (meaning graphics in the PDF will be lost).

Options: \n\n1) Adobe Acrobat is THE program to create .pdf files. However it's a pricey software (not to confuse with the Acrobat Reader, which is free to read .pdf files. To create one, you have to pay for it). Info: \nhttp://www.adobe.com/ap/products/acrobat/index.html\n\n2) you can do that free online, however results can not be guaranted (usually many problems with pictures and other formed parts): \nhttp://www.pdfonline.com/\n\n3) get an extension for Word to do that\n\n4) get an installed separete software to convert it, example: http://www.tucows.com/preview/343084

if you want the pdf file viewable by everybody, put it in the main directory of the website.   This should be the same directory as your main page (index.htm or index.html).  To link the file, just point to: www.abcsite123.com/filename.pdf.\n\n\nFirst, what is the name of the pdf file.  Second, did you put the link to the correct pdf name??  Third, are you sure you placed the pdf file on the root of the home page directory?\nThe exampleI used assume the PDF file was named "filename.pdf".  Please point to the name of your file!
