Your Document Needs to Look Its Best When Printed
First impressions are important. These days people are getting busier and they are being swamped in every media with subtle and not-so-subtle messages trying to grab their attention and interest. Your document needs to look its very best when it is placed in front of the decision maker. You can't take a chance on their PC, printer or the ability of the person doing the printing. The portable document format (PDF) allows you to create a file so that it will come out of the printer with the same appearance that you created it in.
While PDF readers are available for free download, PDF editing software is expensive.
Free open source software is available that will let you create a document in the PDF format.
