Familiarity with the different file formats can save us a lot of time and effort in dealing with our day-to-day encounter online and offline. While most of us are familiar with Word documents with file extension ending in .doc, our knowledge should not be limited to it because as we move on to a more advanced pace, we will surely encounter more complicated files to an almost obscure file extensions.
While this post limits us to document file extensions, one of the most popular
we may encounter are those with file extension PDF and this type of file format is used for representing two-dimensional documents independent of any application software, hardware, or operating system.
In 1993, Adobe Systems created the PDF which stands for “Portable
Document Format” and is denoted by a file extension PDF or .pdf suffix after a filename. PDF files are readable using Adobe Acrobat reader. While Adobe Acrobat reader can view this type of document, while most people find this program disk space unfriendly because of its size, it’s still the best reader there is today.
However, a light-weight alternative PDF reader is cited on my previous post entitled, ”PDF reader smaller than Adobe?“ PDF files are very distributable and handy. In fact, most white papers, manuals, and ebooks among others found online and is distributed by most companies globally are in this format which means it is the most recognized form of web document available.
