about the Acrobat marketing strategy: The

Internet. The PDF format has certain advantages when used on documents and
other materials over which the author wishes to maintain complete control. The
PDF format is frequently used for forms, published documents, operating
manuals, etc.

marketing strategy has been largely successful. The PDF format has become an
