Portable
Document Format (PDF) is an open file format created by Adobe Systems
in 1993 for document exchange. In the beginning, Adobe Reader was not
available for free and PDF document files were much larger in files size than the original text
files. There are now many other PDF creators and readers available.
PDF still remains as the universal format for the distribution of documents that can be read on all computers and devices. Other file types like Word, DOC and XLS cannot be viewed on all devices so conversion to PDF is the best solution. eBook is a term used for documents published as books, however they require special readers so distributing eBooks as PDF makes more sense, especially when considering that as PDF, they can be copy protected.
