What is Adobe Reader?

Adobe Reader, formerly known as Acrobat Reader, is the free and most downloaded software for viewing PDF files.

With Adobe Reader X installed on your computer system you can open, view, search, verify, digitally sign, and print all PDF documents. You can also annotate with Sticky Notes and highlight important text.

It is available in almost any language.

Note: PDF or Portable Document Format, invented by Adobe Systems, is the global open standard for sharing rich information. PDF files look like original documents regardless of the operating system or application used to create or view them.
