"PDF" is a file format for moving, viewing, and printing written information over the internet.  Not everyone has the MS Word program to view MS Word documents, but everyone can get the free PDF viewer (Adobe Acrobat)  that Adobe makes.  Most computers come with Acrobat pre-installed.  If you don't have it, you can download it from the adobe.com website.  If your computer has it, the program will start automatically when you click on a .PDF file.  The viewer allows you to read the document on your computer, or you can print the document.
