To create, view and edit a .PDF file you need a program like Adobe Illustrator. This is an expensive program (as is most of Adobe's software) that is meant for those in the design industry.
But a .PDF can be viewed with Adobe Reader which is a free application from Adobe (there are a few versions of this software, but the basic one is free). Reader will not allow you to make any changes to the document though, as it is only a viewer.
You can make almost any file a .PDF with the assistance of a program that will print your document (Word, Excel, Publisher, etc.) into a .PDF file. There are shareware programs out there for this, and there are some that you must buy to use. Research user reviews of these programs to ensure that they are stable and safe to download.
