Portable Document Format (PDF)
| What is pdf? |
- PDF is a graphically oriented file format designed for electronic interchange; it was developed by Adobe Systems Inc. for use with its Acrobat software.
- With a PDF file, you can display or print any page in a publication in a form virtually identical to the page that appeared in the publication (including richly formatted text, graphics, and colors).
- The PDF format is derived from PostScript, the page description language developed by Adobe, but a PDF file is much smaller than a corresponding PostScript file, so it is more suitable for electronic delivery.
