PDF files encapsulate a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including text, fonts, graphics, and other information needed for display. PDF was standardized in 2008 and allows files to contain text, graphics, annotations, forms, layers, rich media, 3D objects, and various data formats while also supporting encryption, digital signatures, attachments, and metadata.

The Portable Document Format (PDF) (redundantly: PDF format) is a file format developed

by Adobe in the 1990s to present documents, including text formatting and images, in a manner
independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems.[2][3] Based on
the PostScript language, each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat
document, including the text, fonts, vector graphics, raster images and other information needed to
display it. PDF was standardized as ISO 32000 in 2008, and no longer requires any royalties for its
implementation.[4]
PDF files may contain a variety of content besides flat text and graphics including logical structuring
elements, interactive elements such as annotations and form-fields, layers, rich media (including
video content) and three dimensional objects using U3D or PRC, and various other data formats.
The PDF specification also provides for encryption and digital signatures, file attachments and
metadata to enable workflows requiring these features.
