PDF

PDF, short for Portable Document Format, is a file format developed by Adobe Inc. for capturing and presenting documents in a fixed-layout format. PDF files can contain text, images, graphics, and interactive elements, making them suitable for a wide range of documents such as reports, presentations, forms, and ebooks. One of the key features of PDF is its platform independence, allowing documents to be viewed and printed on different devices and operating systems without requiring the original software that created them. PDFs preserve the formatting, fonts, and layout of the original document, ensuring consistency across different platforms and devices. They are widely used for sharing documents electronically, as they can be easily viewed, printed, and shared without the risk of formatting errors. PDFs also support security features such as passwordA password is a string of characters used to verify the identity of a user during the authentication... More protection and digital signatures, making them suitable for sensitive documents that require confidentiality and integrity.

Imagine PDF as a digital envelope. Just as an envelope protects and preserves the contents of a letter, PDF protects and preserves the contents of a document, ensuring that it can be safely delivered and accessed by recipients.
