PDF
is a file
format developed
by Adobe
to provide
cross platform
readability
and document
independence.
The beauty
of the PDF
file is, it
can be created
from any application
on any system
and sent to
other computers
and still
retain it's
formatting,
fonts and
"look".
For printers
this means
what you see
on your screen
in PDF should
be what we
see when printing
your book.
