Portable Document Format: an ISO-standardised file format (ISO 32000) that encodes documents with fixed layout, fonts, graphics, and metadata in a device-independent, platform-agnostic representation. In AI and knowledge-graph contexts, PDFs serve as primary carriers of academic papers, technical specifications, and legal documents that are ingested via extraction pipelines for training, retrieval-augmented generation, and knowledge-base construction.
