It is a file that takes your page, images and fonts and pulls them together into one document. PDF stands for portable document format. It is part of the Adobe Systems, Inc., Acrobat product family.

Yearbook staffs use PageMaker and InDesign to create yearbook pages, but rather than submit the application file, they create a PDF of that application file. The PDF can be considered a digital master, according to Grant Fritch, director of technology/research and development. The school has created a page; then everything on that page is bundled together into a perfect master copy. It is that digital master from which the yearbook page is printed.
