Most users would consider Adobe Reader, but this can be slow and cumbersome. Macs can do this out of the box, but Windows users need an external program. Problem is, you need a PDF reader to open the documents. Only a few years ago you had to use Quark and it had to be a version your commercial printer had installed. Believe it or not, this is a fairly recent event.

As long you give them a commercial-quality document, you can expect printed material as it looked on your computer screen. This means you can use an advanced desktop publishing tool, such as Quark, to layout a document, publish as a PDF and then distribute it to other users, irrespective of the computer they use.īetter still, PDF documents now enable us to use any design tool to create a document you can then give to a commercial printer for creating your newsletter, poster or invitation. The key advantage of a PDF is that you can keep the layout, whilst embedding the fonts, images and other components. PDFs make the distribution of readable documents, easy.
