What is a PDF?

PDF stands for Portable Document Format - this is simply a type of formatting that enables printable documents, like our Race for Life sponsorship forms, to be displayed identically on any computer system.

Our forms are available as PDFs because:

  • PDF documents always retain the "look and feel" of the original.
  • Anyone can view a PDF document, but is not able to alter it.


To read & print a PDF, you have to use a special free program called Acrobat Reader (created by a company called Adobe) - see above.
