    PDF (Portable Document Format) is a file format developed by Adobe in 1993 to present documents in a manner independent of software, hardware, and operating systems. PDF files can contain text, fonts, vector graphics, raster images, and other information needed to display a fixed-layout flat document. The format has been standardized by ISO as ISO 32000 and no longer requires royalties. Today, PDF files may also contain interactive elements, rich media, 3D objects, and various other data formats beyond just flat text and graphics.

    The Portable Document Format (PDF) (redundantly: PDF format) is a file format developed
    by Adobe in the 1990s to present documents, including text formatting and images, in a manner
    independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems.[2][3] Based on
    the PostScript language, each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat
    document, including the text, fonts, vector graphics, raster images and other information needed to
    display it. PDF was standardized as ISO 32000 in 2008, and no longer requires any royalties for its
    implementation.[4]
    Today, PDF files may contain a variety of content besides flat text and graphics including logical
    structuring elements, interactive elements such as annotations and form-fields, layers, rich
    media (including video content) and three dimensional objects using U3D or PRC, and various other
    data formats.[citation needed] The PDF specification also provides for encryption and digital signatures, file
    attachments and metadata to enable workflows requiring these features
