<etgov:ComponentDescription>
Portable Document Format (PDF) is a published specification for secure, 
reliable electronic document distribution and exchange. PDF files look exactly 
like original documents and preserve the fonts, images, graphics, and layout of any
source file, regardless of the application and platform used to create it.
With support for electronic signatures and document control, enterprises
can protect document authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality. The
PDF-based Adobe Intelligent Document Platform combines PDF with XML,
allowing organizations to create PDF forms and documents that leverage XML
standards.
</etgov:ComponentDescription>
<etgov:GovernmentBenefits>PDF has been adopted by enterprises, educators, governments and
standards bodies around the world to streamline document exchange, increase productivity, 
and reduce reliance on paper. PDF documents can be shared, viewed, and printed by
anyone, on any system, using free Adobe Reader software - regardless of the
operating system, original application, or fonts.</etgov:GovernmentBenefits>
