A PDF file is often a combination of [[vector graphics]], text, and [[bitmap graphics]]. The basic types of content in a PDF are:

There are two layouts to the PDF files: non-linearized (not "optimized") and linearized ("optimized"). Non-linearized PDF files can be smaller than their linear counterparts, though they are slower to access because portions of the data required to assemble pages of the document are scattered throughout the PDF file. Linearized PDF files (also called "optimized" or "web optimized" PDF files) are constructed in a manner that enables them to be read in a Web browser plugin without waiting for the entire file to download, since all objects required for the first page to display are optimally organized at the start of the file.<ref name="pdf-ref">{{cite web|url=https://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html|title=Adobe Developer Connection: PDF Reference and Adobe Extensions to the PDF Specification|publisher=Adobe Systems Inc.|access-date=December 13, 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061115132507/https://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html|archive-date=November 15, 2006}}</ref> PDF files may be optimized using [[Adobe Acrobat]] software or [[QPDF]].

There are many software options for creating PDFs, including the PDF printing capabilities built into [[macOS]], [[iOS]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ijunkie.com/how-to-create-pdf-web-page-safari-iphone-ipad-ios-11/|title=How to Create a PDF from Web Page on iPhone and iPad in iOS 11|last=Pathak|first=Khamosh|date=October 7, 2017|website=iJunkie|access-date=January 12, 2023|archive-date=January 12, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230112153246/https://ijunkie.com/how-to-create-pdf-web-page-safari-iphone-ipad-ios-11/|url-status=live}}</ref> and most [[Linux]] distributions. Much document processing software including [[LibreOffice]], [[Microsoft Office 2007]] (if updated to [[Office 2007#Service Pack 2|SP2]]) and later,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953195|title=Description of 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 2 (SP2)|publisher=[[Microsoft]]|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090429212434/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953195|archive-date=April 29, 2009|access-date=January 12, 2023}}</ref> [[WordPerfect]] 9, and [[Scribus]] can export documents in PDF format. There are many PDF print drivers for Microsoft Windows, the [[pdfTeX]] typesetting system, the [[DocBook]] PDF tools, applications developed around [[Ghostscript]] and [[Adobe Acrobat]] itself as well as [[Adobe InDesign]], [[Adobe FrameMaker]], Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, that allow a "PDF printer" to be set up, which when selected sends output to a PDF file instead of a physical printer. [[Google]]'s online office suite [[Google Docs]] allows uploading and saving to PDF. Some web apps offer free PDF editing and annotation tools.

The [[Apache PDFBox]] project of the [[Apache Software Foundation]] is an open source Java library, licensed under the [[Apache License]], for working with PDF documents.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pdfbox.apache.org/|url-status=live|title=The Apache PDFBox project- Apache PDFBox 3.0.0 released|date=August 17, 2023|archive-date=January 7, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230107234923/https://pdfbox.apache.org/}} Updated for new releases.</ref>

[[Raster image processor]]s (RIPs) are used to convert PDF files into a [[raster graphics|raster format]] suitable for imaging onto paper and other media in printers, digital production presses and [[prepress]] in a process known as [[rasterization]].
