You are probably accessing sites with articles that have been written to pdf. format, which is a means by which they can not be altered by viewers keeping them true to the author's intent. There are many tutorials here on the board in pdf. format, too, and you can't access them without having Adobe Reader on your computer....at least the free addition. You can download that here for free: http://www.adobe.com/products/reader.html

You need to use Adobe reader as that is the format used by the creator when making the article. Adobe makes Photoshop and other reliable programs that computer manufacturers install on their computers. They are a reliable company and give the customer frequent updates in order to keep the product running smoothly. I trust it and have many Adobe products on my computer.

Thanks to all of you who responded about the Adobe Reader and the explanation about what it actually is and why you have to use it to view certain things. I really appreciate it and now feel comfortable using it.
