Portable
Document Format (PDF) is a universal file format that preserves all
of the fonts, formatting, colors, and graphics of any source document,
regardless of the application and platform used to create it. PDF
files are compact and can be shared, viewed, navigated, and printed
exactly as intended by anyone with a PDF compatible reader. PDF files
are ideal for documents that are intended for print. |

PostScript is a page description language (PDL) developed by Adobe
