PDF stands for Portable Document Format which was developed by Adobe Systems. PDF captures formatting information from a variety of desktop publishing applications, making it possible to send formatted documents and have them appear on the recipient's monitor or printer as they were intended.

Portable Document Format. Adobe invented its Acrobat software as a means of allowing computer users to flexibly share documents with each other no matter what word processor program or operating system they use. No matter what program the original file was created in, once converted into the PDF format, anyone with the free Acrobat Reader software installed on their computer can access the file.

It stands for Portable Document File. It is so named because it can be viewed by various computer platforms, (e.g. Macs or PCs) and therefore can be ported.
