Description
Adobe Acrobat is a family of software packages designed to view, create, manipulate, print and manage files in Portable Document Format (PDF).
The family comprises Reader (formerly Acrobat Reader), Adobe Acrobat (formerly Adobe Acrobat Professional). The freeware Adobe Reader, available for several desktop and mobile platforms, can view, print and annotate PDF files.
