To work with Portable Document Format (PDF)

Adobe Systems developed PDF which enable documents to be transferred and shared across computer platforms.

1. PDF is designed to be extensible. The New features can easily be added to the file format through the plug-in architecture.
   

2. It can be used to locate and directly access pages and other important objects in the file.
   

3. PDF will not reformat your documents. PDF files contain information necessary for either displaying embedded fonts or for font substitution.
   

4. To reduce the file size, PDF supports JPEG, CCITT Group 3, CCITT Group 4, ZIP, and LZW industry-standard compression filters.
   

5. PDF files are extremely portable across diverse hardware and operating-system environments. PDF makes use of binary as well as ASCII-encoded data.
   

6. PDF represents text and graphics by using the imaging model of the PostScript language.
