PDF

Exporting my presentation as a PDF was so simple. I didn't even have to do anything. Simply upload it to GoogleDocs and publish it. This type of file will be quite useful for sending the document to someone that may not have PowerPoint or when printing it out. I chose to use my Jeopardy game for this assignment, so in the end I lost quite a bit of the effect from the original presentation. The slides are presented in numerical order and the viewer is not able to choose a hyperlink in order to view a corresponding answer and question. This form of file also allows the creator of the document to ensure that it cannot be edited by anyone who may view the file. I know that it is also common practice for documents or items that are scanned into the computer to be saved as PDF files. Items such as articles from a magazine, pages from a book, newspaper clippings, or flyers. I have used this type of file routinely when doing reseach and other class assignments.

When opening a PDF file it launches Adobe Acrobat Reader. This program allows the user to view the document as well as print it. The user is able to zoom in or out on the document so reading it directly from the program is made easy, eliminating the need to print.
