Portable Document Format
PDF
(PDF) The native file format for Adobe
Systems' Acrobat. PDF is the file format for representing
documents in a manner that is independent of the original
application software, hardware, and operating system used to
create those documents. A PDF file can describe documents
containing any combination of text, graphics, and images in a
device-independent and resolution independent format. These
documents can be one page or thousands of pages, very simple
or extremely complex with a rich use of fonts, graphics,
colour, and images.
