Publishing Documents to PDF

PDF is short for Portable Document Format, a file format developed by Adobe Systems. PDF captures formatting information from a variety of applications, making it possible to send formatted documents and have them appear on the recipient's system exactly as they appear on the originating system. PDF format is the accepted standard for electronic file distribution.

PDF has been supported in WordPerfect products since WordPerfect Office 2000. The built-in PDF functionality in WordPerfect 12 includes Adobe Acrobat 5.0 compatibility, which supports symbols and improved page numbering. If you had to purchase Adobe Acrobat separately, it would cost between $200 and $300.
