What is PDF document?

In order to exhibit documents, including text and images, in a way that is independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems, Adobe created the Portable Document Format (PDF) in 1992. In addition to flat texts and images, PDF files can also include interactive components like annotations and logical structural elements. The PDF specification also supports file attachments, metadata, digital signatures, and encryption to accommodate workflows that require these features.
