The Portable Document Format, commonly known as PDFS, revolutionized digital document management when Adobe Systems introduced it in the early 1990s. It quickly became a standard for sharing documents due to its ability to preserve the original formatting, fonts, and layout across different platforms and devices.
This format was designed to ensure that documents appear identical regardless of whether they are viewed on a Windows PC, a macOS device, or a mobile phone. Its reliability in maintaining document integrity has made PDFs a preferred choice for everything from business reports and legal contracts to eBooks and forms, facilitating seamless communication and collaboration in today’s digital world.
