PDF means Portable Document Format. Created to ease document exchange, PDF lets you view a file exactly as designed without the program that created it. All you need is the free Adobe Reader. PDF file has become the open standard for document exchange. Developed by Adobe in 1993, it was later released for free in 2001.
The reason to use this format is its cross platform use (meaning that everyone can open, view and print it). The problem with many proprietary formats (for example: Adobe Illustrator, Microsoft Word and Excel) is that the creating software must be installed to open, view and print them.
Files, fonts and layouts are preserved within a PDF, meaning that everyone sees exactly the same thing. PDF files also offer security and digital signature options.
