Cross-Platform Multimedia Access for Education: Using PDF Files

Patrick J. Lynch
Syllabus, Vol. 9, No. 8, May 1996, p. 14-18

This article describes Adobe's attempt to design a universal publishing format for Acrobat. The format, Portable Document Format (PDF), is a file structure that can describe and encapsulate the graphic design, typography, individual typefaces, and multimedia data contained in a complex formatted document. The article goes on to suggest that Acrobat be used with the World Wide Web to extend the range of digital publishing.
