Portable Document Format
     
         (PDF) The native file format for {Adobe
        Systems}' {Acrobat}.  PDF is the file format for representing
        documents in a manner that is independent of the original
        application software, hardware, and operating system used to
        create those documents.  A PDF file can describe documents
        containing any combination of text, graphics, and images in a
        device-independent and {resolution} independent format.  These
        documents can be one page or thousands of pages, very simple
        or extremely complex with a rich use of {fonts}, graphics,
        colour, and {images}.
