Introduction to PDF


History of PDF

PDF is a file format used to represent documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems. Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, font, graphics, and other information needed to display it.

While Adobe Systems made the PDF specification available for free in 1993, PDF remained a proprietary format controlled by Adobe, until July 1, 2008, when it was officially released as an open standard and published by the International Organization for Standardization as ISO 32000-1:2008. In 2008, Adobe published a Public Patent License to ISO 32000-1 granting royalty-free rights for all patents owned by Adobe that are necessary to make, use, sell and distribute PDF compliant implementations.

PDF Document Structure

A PDF document is composed of one or more pages. Each page has its own specifications to indicate its appearance. All the contents in a PDF page, such as text, image, annotation and form, etc. are represented as PDF objects. A PDF document can be considered as a hierarchy of objects contained in the body section of a PDF file (more detailed description about PDF objects is in section 4.20). Displaying a PDF document in an application involves loading PDF document, parsing PDF objects, retrieving/decoding pages content and displaying/printing it on a device. Editing a PDF document requires parsing the document structure, making changes and reorganizing the PDF objects in a document. These operations could be done by a conforming PDF reader/editor or in your own applications through APIs provided by Foxit. PDF Document Features

PDF supports a lot of features to enhance the document capability, such as document

encryption, digital signatures, java script actions, form filling, layered content, multimedia support and etc. These features provide users with more flexibility in displaying, exchanging and editing documents. Foxit supports all PDF features in the ISO standard. Users can use Foxit PDF SDK to fulfill these advanced features in your applications.
