What is a PDF file?





PDF (Portable Document Format) is a file format developed by  Adobe as a means of distributing compact, platform-independent documents. It is superficially similar to HTML; a PDF document may contain images and text, as well as hyperlinks. However, as PDF is based on a variant of PostScript, each document is self-contained, packing text, graphics, and fonts into a single file. Basically Ebook page making use this format.
You can use Adobe Acrobat  Writer to create PDF files, and you can view PDF files either with Adobe Reader or via a web browser with the PDF Viewer plug-in.
Additionally, Mac OS X offers built-in support for creating PDF files and includes a free application called Preview for viewing PDF files.
