What are PDFs and how do I read them?

PDF stands for Portable Document File. It's the most popular way of making downloadable documents available on the web. You need a plug-in called Adobe Acrobat Reader to view these files which you can download for free from Adobe's website.

Users who have concerns about accessibility should visit Adobe's accessibility website.

Adobe Acrobat documents can be converted to plain text documents using Online conversion tools for Adobe PDF documents.

The latest version of Acrobat Reader (version 6) has a Read Out Loud facility, which can be found under the View menu.
