The Adobe "Portable Document Format" (PDF) enables users to include complex data like spreadsheets, graphics, and presentation material into a single universally compatible file format. This miraculous bit of software eliminates cross-platform problems that Mac and PC users encounter and use different versions of Windows or other software brands. Regardless of the word processing application, spreadsheet application, or image editor used to create the initial document, PDF can recognize and encompass all of these. One of the most remarkable uses for PDF files is their ability to be shared online among various
             users. Furthermore, PDF can create forms that users can fill in on their computer and later print out or submit as PDF. As a result, PDF is commonly used to exchange and distribute government documents.
             Another benefit of PDFs is the relative compactness of the file size and their ability to be read on handheld PC devices and be accessible even to the visually impaired. Finally, PDF files can be made secure by using digital signatures for authenticity.
             Adobe PageMaker has been used to create various business and creative publications like calendars, brochures, flyers, and newsletters that are usually printed out. PageMaker offers versatility in the layout process and can produce professional-quality publications. Furthermore, if a document like a newsletter is created in PageMaker, it can be converted to PDF format and posted on the Web. That way, friends could download or view the newsletter by simply downloading a free version of the Acrobat Reader
             or Adobe Reader. They would not have to have PageMaker installed on their computer. However, PageMaker would be necessary if the friend wanted to make changes to the newsletter, such as altering the content, graphics, or layout.
