Pdf (Portable Document Format) A file type that presents the document in a certain format, regardless of the applications available on the receiver's computer. For instance, if a document written on Microsoft Word is saved as .pdf, when opened on another computer it will look just like it did on Word, even if that computer does not have Word.
Pdf documents are opened in a pdf reader, like Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat, and can only be edited once saved unless specifications are made that allow changes.
A document is rarely constructed in pdf format. Rather, it is saved in that format after it is completed.
pdf is a text file format, which means digital images should not be saved in this format, unless they are intended to accompany the text. |
