PDF has the ability to store text in a searchable form. In 50 years, even if PDF's are not used anymore, all you need is the PDF specification and you can have a viewer developed to read your documents. Widely published formats, such as PDF, are more future proof that proprietary formats such as MS Word. Often software becomes obsolete, rendering some documents unreadable by current technology.

PDF format is the best document format for long-term digital archival. They can be opened, read and printed by many free PDF readers available on the web, and viewed on operating systems such as Windows, MacOS, and Unix variants. PDF files preserve documents formats independent of software, hardware, or operating system used to generate the original file. PDF documents generated by pdfMachine, when printed or viewed, maintain the integrity of all formatting in the original document. Once you have installed the pdf writer, open your document that you want to convert, then click "print", select the "Broadgun pdfMachine printer" and that's it - you have a PDF! PDF files can be optimized and are often smaller than conventional document formats.PdfMachine converts a print stream from an application directly into a PDF. Users can magnify documents up to 800% without the loss of clarity in text or graphics. PDF files enable sharp, colour-precise printing on most printers with precise onscreen colour match regardless of monitor brand. This makes for easy use within an intranet or website. These files can then be saved for off-line use or printed. PDF files can be viewed within Netscape and Internet Explorer.
