Portable Document Format

The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a widely used file type designed to present documents consistently across different devices and platforms. It preserves the original layout, fonts, images, and formatting of a document, ensuring it looks the same whether viewed on a computer, tablet, or smartphone. PDFs are versatile and can contain various elements like text, images, links, and interactive features. They are commonly used for sharing documents such as reports, forms, and manuals because they maintain the integrity of the original content while being easy to open and view with free or paid software.
