PDF

Portable Document Format (PDF) is a widely-used file format developed by Adobe Inc. in the early 1990s. PDF files are known for their ability to present documents consistently across different platforms and devices.

Key Features

  1. Platform Independence: PDF files can be viewed on various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux, making them highly portable and independent of the software or hardware used.
  2. Consistent Formatting: PDFs maintain consistent formatting across different devices and software applications, ensuring that the document's layout, fonts, and images appear the same way regardless of the viewing environment.
  3. Security: PDFs support encryption and password protection, allowing users to secure their documents and control access to sensitive information.
  4. Interactive Elements: PDFs can include interactive elements such as hyperlinks, forms, and multimedia, enhancing the user experience and providing additional functionality beyond static documents.
  5. Compression: PDF files can be compressed to reduce file size without compromising the quality of the content, making them suitable for efficient storage and transmission.
