What this section is about

Putting a PDF (Portable Document Format) on a page enables users to create a page that shows the PDF as they see it on a piece of paper.

It is very useful when you have Word or other format (Apple or Linux) documents that you just want to see on the page as they are, in all their magnificent glory!

Users wishing to use PDFs should have Adobe Reader. Go to adobe.com and download a free copy of Adobe Reader.
