Description	PDF is a file format developed by Adobe Systems for representing documents in a manner that is separate from the original operating system, application or hardware from where it was originally created. A PDF file can be any length, contain any number of fonts and images and is designed to enable the creation and transfer of printer-ready output.

Technical Details	Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a 2D document (and, with the advent of Acrobat 3D, embedded 3D documents) that includes the text, fonts, images and 2D vector graphics that compose the document. They do not encode information that is specific to the application software, hardware, or operating system used to create or view the document.

Technical Details	HTML5 introduces new elements that are not present in previous versions of HTML. It is now no longer based on SGML, it is designed to be backwards compatible with previous older versions of HTML. HTML5 specifies scripting APIs that can be used with both Javascript and the Document Object Model (DOM). There are also a number of new APIs to include: Canvas Element for 2D drawing, Timed Media playback, Document Editing, Drag and Drop, Web Storage amongst others. HTML5 attempts to make semantic replacements for uses of generic elements e.g. footer,audio and video rather than div,span or object.
