.pdf Files
Files with a suffix ending in .pdf are generally created by
scanners. The .pdf stands for “Portable Document Format”. This file format was developed by Adobe and
was made popular by the fact that Adobe made its Adobe Reader a free download so that anyone
could open and read a .pdf file. To create a .pdf file requires a program
like Adobe Acrobat.
