Understanding PDFs

PDF, or Portable Document Format, was developed by Adobe to allow documents to be shared and

printed while preserving their formatting across devices.

PDFs are widely used in academia, business, and government for distributing fixed-layout

documents like forms, reports, and publications.

The format supports text, images, vector graphics, hyperlinks, and even multimedia content. Modern

PDFs can also include encryption and digital signatures for security.
