Portable Document Format (PDF) is a universal file format
that preserves the fonts, images, and layout of source documents
created on a wide range of applications and platforms. Adobe PDF
is the standard for the secure, reliable distribution and exchange
of electronic documents and forms around the world. Adobe PDF files
are compact and complete, and can be shared, viewed, and printed
by anyone with free Adobe Reader® software.

Adobe PDF is highly effective in print publishing workflows.
By saving a composite of your artwork in Adobe PDF, you create a
compact, reliable file that you or your service provider can view,
edit, organize, and proof. Then, at the appropriate time in the
workflow, your service provider can either output the Adobe PDF
file directly, or process it using tools from various sources for
such post-processing tasks as preflight checks, trapping, imposition,
and color separation.

When you save in Adobe PDF, you can choose
to create a PDF/X-compliant file. PDF/X (Portable Document Format
Exchange) is a subset of Adobe PDF that eliminates many of the color,
font, and trapping variables that lead to printing problems. PDF/X
may be used wherever PDFs are exchanged as digital masters for print
production—whether at the creation or output stage of the workflow, as
long as the applications and output devices support PDF/X.

Adobe PDFs can solve the following problems associated with electronic documents:
