PDF (Portable Document Format)

PDF, or Portable Document Format, is a file format developed by Adobe that allows documents to be presented consistently across different devices and operating systems. PDFs can contain text, images, links, and more, and are widely used for sharing and printing documents because they preserve the original layout and appearance, regardless of where they're viewed. This makes PDFs ideal for forms, eBooks, and official documents, as they ensure that the content looks the same for everyone. They can be viewed using various software, including free readers, and are commonly used in business, education, and personal applications.
