The Portable Document Format (PDF) has initially been released by Adobe Systems in 1993 [1] and later became an ISO standard [2]. It was designed as a successor of PostScript and has established itself as a widely accepted document exchange format. Some newer printers support direct PDF printing in addition to PostScript. While PDF is partially based on PostScript, it is neither a complete programming language, nor does it support file system operations. Therefore PDF seems less applicable for printer exploitation and is not further studied in this wiki.
