PDF is popular because it is high-quality, portable, device-independent, and because there are many tools available for creating, manipulating, and viewing PDF documents. These tools include the free multi-platform document viewer Adobe Acrobat. The portability and high quality of the PDF documents make PDF an excellent choice for Web publishing.
