PDF Basics | How is a PDF Created?
Date: 2006-05-30

A PDF file can be created using PDF writers, such as Adobe Acrobat. How? Well, PDF writers basically act as printer drivers. In other words, PDFs are created in a way similar to the one in which regular printed documents are created. However, the only difference is that the PDF is “printed” electronically, not physically, by using a PDF writer.

It is “printed” by being digitally captured in a snapshot from a scanned document (resulting in scanned PDFs) or from a document electronically created through word processing (resulting in a native PDF). Thus, instead of choosing a printer as the intended destination for a file, to create a PDF you would choose the PDF writer driver. Once created and saved as a PDF file, it can then be publicly shared or sent to someone as an attachment.
