ACROBAT is one of the prominent supported NETSCAPE viewers of preformatted documents e.g. WP, Lotus and Word to name a view. The mechanics behind creating formatted documents in Acrobat format is relatively simple. A document is created in word processing format and then at PRINT time routed to an ACROBAT printer configured by the ACROBAT developer resulting in an ACROBAT document with the file extension of .PDF. e.g "agenda.pdf"

The County of San Diego has at this time has chosen ACROBAT as it's standard for formatted documents. Whenever you see the ACROBAT logo or a document with the file extension PDF, the viewer must be installed.
