Definition: Adobe Acrobat is a program or suite of programs from Adobe Systems, Inc. which creates, edits, and manipulates PDF files that can be viewed on any computer system that has software capable of reading PDF files (such as the Adobe Acrobat Reader software). PDF documents are often referred to as Adobe Acrobat files, even if a different program was used to generate the file.

Also Known As: Acrobat | Distiller (one of the Acrobat components)
