Portable Document Format or PDF for short, is a digital file format to present documents including text, raster images, vector graphics, fonts, and other information needed to view it. The PDF format is independent of platform, operating system, software, application, and hardware, making it a useful format for exchanging documents. PDF files also preserve formatting and font information across multiple platforms and appear the same on different screens, as when printed on paper.
