    PDF is Portable Document Format (PDF), standardized as ISO 32000, is


    a file format developed by Adobe in 1993 to present documents,
    including text formatting and images, in a manner independent of
    application software, hardware, and operating systems. 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.The last edition as ISO


    32000-2:2020 was published in December 2020. 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.

    History
    History of PDF Adobe Systems made the PDF specification available
    free of charge in 1993. In the early years PDF was popular mainly in
    desktop publishing workflows, and competed with a variety of formats
    such as DjVu, Envoy, Common Ground Digital Paper, Farallon Replica
    and even Adobe's own PostScript format. PDF was a proprietary format
    controlled by Adobe until it was released as an open standard on July 1,
    2008, and published by the International Organization for
    Standardization as ISO 32000-1:2008, at which time control of the
    specification passed to an ISO Committee of volunteer industry experts.
    In 2008, Adobe published a Public Patent License to ISO 32000-1
    granting royalty-free rights for all patents owned by Adobe that are
    necessary to make, use, sell, and distribute PDF-compliant
    implementations. PDF 1.7, the sixth edition of the PDF specification that
    became ISO 32000-1, includes some proprietary technologies defined
    only by Adobe, such as Adobe XML Forms Architecture (XFA) and
    JavaScript extension for Acrobat, which are referenced by ISO 32000-1
    as normative and indispensable for the full implementation of the ISO
    32000-1 specification. These proprietary technologies are not
    standardized and their specification is published only on Adobe's
    website. Many of them are also not supported by popular third-party
    implementations of PDF. In December, 2020, the second edition of PDF
    2.0, ISO 32000-2:2020, was published, including clarifications,
    corrections and critical updates to normative references. ISO 32000-2
    does not include any proprietary technologies as normative references.
