# Export PDF

## What is PDF?

**PDF**, or **Portable Document Format**, is a universal file format that preserves the layout, fonts, and images of a document, ensuring it appears the same on any device or operating system. It is a secure and reliable way to share documents, can contain various types of content like text, images, forms, audio, and video, and is an open standard maintained by the ISO.
