| Description | PAM (Portable Arbitrary Map) is one of the native image file formats of the Netpbm software. It is newer than the other Netpbm formats (PBM, PGM, PPM). The main advantages of PAM are that it supports transparency, and that new features can be added to it. The main disadvantage is that it is not as widely supported by third-party software. | The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format used to present documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems. Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, fonts, graphics, and other information needed to display it. |
| Technical details | The PDF combines three technologies: A subset of the PostScript page description programming language, for generating the layout and graphics. A font-embedding/replacement system to allow fonts to travel with the documents. A structured storage system to bundle these elements and any associated content into a single file, with data compression where appropriate. | |
