What is Portable Document Format?
{{redirect|PDF}} The '''''Portable Document Format''''' ('''PDF''') is a [[file format]] for storing [[document]]s on a [[computer]]. [[Adobe]] created it in 1993 to make it easier to exchange documents. PDF is often used to make documents print-ready. PDF documents can have stylised text and images in them. The document is stored in such a way that the content does not change the way it looks on different screens, computers and printers as can happen with other file formats. PDF is an [[open standard]] that was officially published on July 1, 2008 by the [[International Organization for Standardization|ISO]]. PDF reader [[software]] is required to read PDF documents. == References == {{reflist}}{{Adobe Inc.}} {{tech-stub}} [[Category:Adobe Inc.]]
