The Portable Document Format (PDF) was developed by Adobe Systems to allow for the simple distribution of fixed-layout documents across a wide range of operating systems and platforms. As long as you have the free Adobe Reader software installed on your computer, you can view and print any PDF file. To work with the contents of a PDF file, however, the commercial Adobe Acrobat application must be installed on your system. As long as this program is in place, saving individual pages from a PDF file is a quick task.
