**Portable Document Format (PDF)** is a multi-platform/application file format that captures a document's electronic image and formatting elements, including all fonts, text and graphics. It is a reliable and trusted file format used in the exchange of electronic data.

Because PDF provides color-accurate information, it allows a user to share and print data as it appears on the computer screen or monitor.

Developed by Adobe Systems, PDF is ensured by the [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:i:iso|ISO]] 32000 open standard.
