What is a PDF File?

PDF was created by Adobe in the 1990s to achieve two things. The
first is that people should be able to open the documents on any
hardware or operating system, without needing to have the app used
to create them—all you need is a PDF reader, and these days most
web browsers fit the bill. The second is that wherever you open a
PDF, the layout of the document should look the same.

PDFs can contain text, images, embedded fonts, hyperlinks, video,


interactive buttons, forms, and more.

How to View a PDF File


Because PDFs are a standardized format, there are a considerable
number of apps out there that can open PDFs. Web browsers,
Adobe’s official Acrobat Reader, third-party apps, and even word
processing apps.

Easiest Way to View a PDF: Use Your Web Browser

Chances are if you’re reading this article, the web browser you’re
using is capable of viewing a PDF, and doing so is mostly the same
on macOS and Windows.

If you don’t have another app that can read PDFs, the chances are
that your browser is already the default app and you can just double-
click the file to open it.

If not, right-click the file, point to the “Open With” menu, and then click
your favorite browser.

The results are similar to any other program out there.
