PDF

PDF stands for Portable Document Format. It is a type of file format that enables users to present and exchange documents reliably, independent of software, hardware, or operating system. PDFs are designed to maintain a document’s fixed layout, ensuring that the file can be viewed and printed in a consistent manner across different platforms. This format is widely used for distributing electronic documents that are intended to be printed, as it encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, fonts, graphics, and other information needed to display it.
