PDF stands for Portable Document Format. It is a technology from Adobe Systems that embeds images and fonts from other applications into a document that is easily viewed using the free Acrobat viewer or published on a web site. PDFs are generally of a lower resolution and file size, enabling them to be sent easily as email attachments, while still allowing layouts to be viewed.
PUBLISHING TIP A slight change to a PDF file might effect other elements of the file. So when a seemingly minor change is made check that other elements have not been altered.
