| | Portable Document Format - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Importantly, PDF files don't encode information that is specific to the application software, hardware, or operating system used to create or view the document. | | | Portable Document Format (PDF) is a proprietary file format developed by Adobe Systems for representing two dimensional documents in a device independent and resolution independent format. | | | A PDF file of a map, for example, is often a combination of vector graphics, text, and raster graphics. |

| | Portable Document Format (PDF) |
| | Because pdf format allows the reliable reproduction of published material on many different platforms (requiring only the use of free reader software), it is a way to conveniently and quickly disseminate information including text, tables, and graphics. | | | Although they contain the complete formatting of the original document, including fonts and images, PDF files are highly compressed, allowing complex information to be downloaded efficiently. | | | In plain language, it is a file that will look the same on the screen and in print, regardless of what kind of computer or printer someone is using and regardless of what software package was originally used to create it. |

| | PDF is a graphically oriented file format designed for electronic interchange; it was developed by Adobe Systems Inc. for use with its Acrobat software. | | | In a PDF file, any page in a publication can be displayed or printed by a user in a form virtually identical to the page that appeared in the publication (including richly formatted text, graphics, and colors). | | | With the Acrobat reader, a user can view and print PDF files; in addition, a user can extract text into ASCII or Rich Text Format (a file format that preserves some of the font and formatting characteristics of a document) and perform searches on the document. |

| | format was designed as a printer control language; it is not useful as a manipulable document format as (in general) it does not gather together information such as document structuring. | | | Document presentation languages are generally text-based languages that provide some form of "markup" system to describe how information should be formatted. | | | The format is not readily editable "by hand;" documents commonly contain embedded fonts, for instance. |
