Adobe Acrobat Reader
File Reader
Freeware

Adobe Acrobat Reader allows you to browse portable document format (PDF) files that have been created by Adobe Acrobat. It also enables you to fill in visually rich, interactive PDF forms. A plug-in for Netscape Navigator is included (install Netscape first) and automatically installed. Support for the latest version of the Acrobat file format (Adobe PDF 1.3), is included, as well as support for all versions of PostScript, (including the new PostScript 3). Another feature is the ability to download and install Asian font packs, which enable you to view PDF files that contain Chinese, Japanese and Korean fonts on non-Asian operating systems using Acrobat Reader 4.05. This latest version includes a new Web Buy feature. This feature allows you to download encrypted files from the Web and unlock them to read on your computer or reading device. With Web Buy, you can purchase and view digital content that has been produced by publishers using Adobe PDF Merchant. PDF Merchant is a server-based technology that encrypts PDF files and works with Web Buy to manage the distribution of and access to the secure PDF files. This allows you to download and purchase electronic books, manuals, reference works and more.
