<>.pdf stands for Portable Document Files and is a compressed text format designed for electronic transmission. It requires a PDF editor, such as Adobe, to create and to read these files. I think you mean .jpg for the second type: these are compressed and exceedingly clear picture files that are very easy to transmit electronically because they don't take up so much space.

The term JPEG actually refers to a standard for a lossy compression algorithm developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. When people use the term JPEG, they usually refer to the JPEG File Interchange Format (JIFF) that defines the way to produce an appropriate file for computer storage and transmission using a JPEG stream.
Portable Document Format (PDF) is 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).

PDF means Portable Document Format, a file format 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. To view a file in PDF format, you need Adobe Reader, a free application distributed by Adobe Systems.
It is not JPJ but JPEG, which means Joint Photographic Experts Group, and pronounced as jay-peg. JPEG is a lossy compression technique for color images. Although it can reduce files sizes to about 5% of their normal size, some detail is lost in the compression.
