PDF is short for Portable Document Format, which means "portable document format", and is a file format developed by Adobe Systems for file exchange in a way that is independent of applications, operating systems, and hardware. PDF files are based on the PostScript language image model, which guarantees accurate colors and accurate print results on any printer, meaning that the PDF faithfully reproduces every character, color, and image of the original.
