Creating a PDF file

(In order to create a PDF file you will need Adobe Acrobat Writer. If you wish only to view a PDF file you need only Adobe Acrobat Reader. Reader is easily downloaded from www.adobe.com if you do not already have it on your computer. Adobe Acrobat Writer, on the other hand, is software that must be installed on your computer before use.)
