PDF is a universal, non-proprietary document format used in exchanging documents. PDF was first developed by Adobe in the early 1990s. Today, millions of PDF documents are accessible from the web, and over a half billion PDF readers have been downloaded. PDF is used for everything from product specifications on the web to magazine layouts for the publishing industry. PDF interpreters have found their way to hard copy devices, accelerating the printing process by eliminating the transform between PDF and other printer languages in the printer driver.
Numerous Adobe and non-Adobe products can produce PDF files in seven different versions of the PDF file format. The application that created the document, the PDF producer configuration options, and editing of the PDF document can all influence the ultimate composition of the PDF file. This creates an almost infinite number of permutations.
