What file format, developed by Adobe Systems, allows the creation of digital documents presenting text and images in a fixed layout?
The PDF format, or Portable Document Format, was introduced by Adobe Systems in 1993. Designed to present documents independently of the software, hardware, or operating system used to create or view them, the PDF revolutionized document sharing. Before the advent of PDF, transmitting documents in their original format often posed compatibility issues. PDF enabled uniformity and faithful content preservation, thereby facilitating secure and reliable information exchange worldwide, becoming an indispensable standard in the digital world.
