      Acrobat (acroread) is a tool from Adobe for reading Adobe
      PDF files. It is available for a variety of architectures,
      and can be used as a plugin for Netscape. Adobe's distill
      (you have to buy that one) can be used to produce PDF files
      from PostScript. This provides a very useful way of accessing
      PostScript documents on the Web since PDF compresses the
      document internally. Best to use PostScript fonts in your
      LaTeX documents to make the most of it though.
