"PDF" is an acronym for for "Portable Document Format"
"2.3.2 Portability
A PDF file is a 7-bit ASCII file, which means PDF files use only the printable subset of the ASCII character set to describe documents even those with images and special characters. As a result, PDF files are extremely portable across diverse hardware and operating system environments."
