Description.pdf (Portable Document Format) The .pdf format, developed by Adobe Systems, is a file format used to present documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems. Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, fonts, graphics, and other information needed to display it.
