Portable Document Format or PDF is a popular document created by Adobe, which can hold text, fonts, images and graphics. This particular kind of document has been immensely successful die to its portability and platform independence. Even if the images and graphics used in PDF are heavy, the actual size of document is very small, hence, facilitates easy transfer through various methods.
