[nerfer192]

[cornflaker]

Its a file type, one of the most commonly used (probably second to microsoft word) file types used for printing, you need to do some research if you don't know what they are - almost any document you download off a businesses website will be in .pdf, maybe youguys have heard of the program that makes .pdf files, Adobe Acrobat ?

[nerfer192]

yeah, i have acrobat

[cornflaker]

Ahh yeah well the files you read with it (or make if you bought it/got a free alternative) are .pdf files
