| Description | 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. | The .lit file type was developed and released by Microsoft in 2000. As with a number of Microsoft file formats, the main drawbacks of the format centred around its lack of compatibility with other devices. The format was wound down in 2011 with sales ceasing and the format was dropped in August 2012. |
| 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. | The format was designed for use solely by the Microsoft Reader application. The format is therefore incompatible with a number of popular eBook devices such as the Amazon Kindle and iBooks. |
