The PDF format
|
 |
|
A lot of information on this website is presented in the
form of documents in the popular PDF format (Portable
Document Format). This file format was created by Adobe
especially for the production of documents, manuals, etc.
One of the best features of the PDF format is the fact that
the quality and layout of the original document (including
any typefaces used) will be retained. Furthermore, PDF readers
are available for almost any operating system. If you don't
already have access to a suitable PDF reader, please follow
one of the links below (depending on the operating system
