PDF, or Portable Document Format, was developed by Adobe to create documents that are user-interactive. Users can modify PDF documents in many ways, including filling in form fields, typing in text and accessing pull-down menus. Unless the PDF file has been locked by the creator, users can also adjust font size, color and type. These adjustments and modifications can be done by using almost any version of Adobe Acrobat.
