across the net and cross platforms
because almost everybody has a PDF
reader if you don't then adobe has a
free version to download or you can
download their professional version but
again in this day and age almost every
computer has a PDF reader and a PDF is
an important file format for many
reasons one if you've got high
documentation or higher graphics rather
then you can do it in such a way that
it's easy to see the other thing is is
that it can be made so it's unchangeable
you can send the information in the
contract and nobody can enter their
things and you know he paid them a
thousand dollars and change into a
million dollars and it's also very safe
way and the file the file size is also
very useful way to send it also will

see all the different places we can
store it and we get to see a preview of
what it looks like but even in its cold
completely collapse mode PDF is really
available and by clicking it you have
more than just a few choices we've got
in a PDF preview on i have several other
programs here that i can send it to as
part of an embed thing like neatreceipts

email and fax it you want to set your
doing this PDF because you want to send
it to somebody
