PDFs

[Project G]

This may sound like a stupid question, but what is an Adobe PDF????

[crono_logical]

Portable Document Format. Another type of document file to the average person, like Word documents or HTML, if you like, except better, since it has much more cross-platform support and can look nicer than either. It's used mainly for sharing/sending/providing information rather than for stuff that needs constant editing like text files, e.g. you'd probably save your work in this format if you needed to take a copy to the local publishers for mass printing a book or posters, or providing downloadable online manuals for games/hardware/whatever, or forms for printing and filling out. You can get a reader for Windows from www.adobe.com if you need to read one of these files.
