How to Convert PDF Files for Reading on a Pocket PC

PDF means Portable Document Format. The document format was created by Adobe in order to make a document file that was easy to transport from one computer to another regardless of the type of computer it was. The PDF format is considered a universal document format because any computer, so long as it has a PDF reader installed, is compatible with the PDF format. Word, a word processing program made by Microsoft and installed on many Windows PC can convert PDF files that can be read on any PC, including Pocket PCs.
