Yahoo and Adobe Systems announced a partnership Monday to combine Adobe's PDF format with Yahoo's Internet services.
The companies said in a statement that they would work on a number of joint projects, including the creation of an online service to convert Web content into PDF (Portable Document Format) files and a toolbar that would add access to Yahoo Search and other features to Adobe Reader, the company's free PDF client.
PDF has become a de facto standard for the electronic interchange of documents. Adobe is in the midst of a broad effort to expand the utility of the format, both as a business and a consumer tool.
Yahoo is pushing new search tools and other services in a bid to stave off competition from Google.

The company helps small businesses with little tech savvy build apps easily, and now its partner Constant Contact will email-blast prospective users, too.
