"PDF" stands for "Portable Document Format". It was developed as a follow-up to
Adobe s Postscript language. Adobe Systems invented PDF technology in the early 19
90s to smooth the process of moving text and graphics from publishers to printin
g-presses and has been in use since 1993. PDF was originally envisioned as a way
to communicate and view printed information electronically across a wide variet
y of machine configurations, operating systems and communication networks in a r
eliable manner. PDF relies on the same imaging model as the PostScript page desc
ription language to render complex text, images and graphics in a device and res
olution-independent manner, bringing this feature to the screen as well as the p
rinter. To improve performance for interactive viewing, PDF defines a more struc
tured format than that used by most PostScript language programs. PDF also inclu
des objects, such as hypertext links and annotations that are not part of the pa
ge itself but are useful for building collections of related documents and for r
eviewing and commenting on documents [1].
PDF files may be created natively in PDF form, converted from other electronic f
ormats or digitized from paper, micro-film or other hard-copy format. When creat
ing PDF files the application offers a choice of several settings. The specific
settings can affect preservation of and access to the file in the short and long
term. Certain choices of settings can change the appearance of the PDF file on
different environments.
