What is PDF?
PDF is short for Portable Document Format, a platform-independent, open file format developed specifically for document exchange. The file format is usually considered a final format that cannot be processed further, using Adobe Acrobat you can perform simple changes, make settings and save as rich text format. Documents in the PDF format can be easily and quickly distributed, for example via the web.
With the help of the free program Adobe Acrobat Reader (also used in all types of browsers), anyone can open PDF documents. By using PDF together with Adobe Acrobat in a publishing context, you have a number of advantages: Appearance and formatting are preserved from the original document, page numbering and table of contents are maintained and the reader can read or possibly print the pages he/she wants. You can also place restrictions on whether a PDF can be copied or not, and the documents can be locked with a password.
