What is PDF?
PDF (Portable Document Format) is Adobe's page-description format, released in 1993 and published as the open ISO 32000 standard in 2008. It preserves fonts, layout, and graphics identically across every device, which is why it's the default for documents meant to be printed, archived, or shared unchanged.
PDF files can carry XMP metadata.
PDF was developed by Adobe and is an open standard.
