NCIt definition : An open file format created and controlled by Adobe Systems, for representing two-dimensional
documents in a device independent and resolution independent fixed-layout document
format. Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a 2D document that includes
the text, fonts, images, and 2D vector graphics that compose the document. PDF files
do not encode information that is specific to the application software, hardware,
or operating system used to create or view the document. This feature ensures that
a valid PDF will render exactly the same regardless of its origin or destination (but
depending on font availability when fonts are not encapsulated in the file).;
