Using PDF Files: And Binding Large Files

by G. Edwin Lint

PDF is short for Portable Document Format, a file format developed by Adobe Systems. When PDF is written as a file extension, it shows up as filename. pdf pdf captures formatting information from a variety of desktop publishing applications, making it possible to send formatted documents and have them appear on the recipient's monitor or printer as they were intended. To view a file in PDF format, you need Adobe Reader, a free application distributed by Adobe Systems. [Click here for a free download.]
Buy three-hole vinyl binders at your stationery supply store. The binder shown here is .5 inch thick. Binders are available to accommodate books of varying sizes and they are also available in varying colors. Make sure the binders you buy have clear pockets on the front so you can insert the cover page.
Print the first page of the booklet. In most cases it will serve as a suitable cover. After the ink is dry, slide this cover page into the clear vinyl pocket on the front of the binder.

Print and punch the remainder of the pages of your book. There is a limit to the number of pages you can punch at one time.

Insert the punched pages into your binder in the proper order.
Now your pdf book is ready for easy use and identification.
