The ".pdf" is one of the most common formats for files used
today. Initially developed in the early 1990s, the PostScript Document Format
was intended to display two-dimensional information, like images and text. Prior
to PDF files, your computer would need every application used to make the file,
just in order to show it.
Instead, a PDF file holds all the information necessary to accurately display everything on the
page. These things include fonts, colors, effects, and in some cases,
animations.
The self-contained nature of PDF files makes it very easy to
share documents across several computers and control the appearance on every
monitor. That makes PDF files a very attractive option for the Internet. The control
that a PDF file provides makes designers’ and programmers’ jobs much easier and
business communications much clearer.
At Hodges & Irvine, we create PDF files for each client,
ensuring that each document contains all the important and necessary
information, and prints every page as perfectly as the first.
