A portable document format (PDF) is a file that allows you to view, share and create electronic documents. PDFs can be viewed no matter what type of word processing system is used. Developed by Adobe, PDFs are widely used on the Internet in the form of text books, documents and manuals. Even some books can be viewed as a PDF online. However, PDFs can only be viewed in the typically black text on a white screen format. For those with vision problems, this can be strenuous on their eyes. Instead, convert your PDFs to a different color for easier reading.
