Abstract

PDF has long been established as the de facto format for the exchange of print-oriented documents and is known for its robust visual presentation across a variety of operating systems and platforms. However, relatively few users are familiar with the format's newer features, such as tagging, forms and security. This tutorial aims to give an overview of the most important of these features and demonstrate the benefits of creating and exchanging PDF files that make use of them.
