In early 90s the co-founder of Adobe Systems John Warnock made Camelot which became PDF or Portable Document Format. PDF was created by Adobe System especially for digital printing in its initial period.

PDF or Portable Document Format is actually a file format which offers attractive features to users. And due to this PDF is widely used across the world. It can be used by many ways such as printing jobs, document presentation, book writing, creating a multimedia file, etc. It can be easily created by Adobe Reader which is freely provided by Adobe Systems. Though nowadays there are many other programs which can create or read PDF file but one should always prefer Adobe Reader which is best in this case.

PDF provides users a number of features which they don’t get in other files. It has good flexibility or mobility which helps users to share or transfer PDF files through internet. Users can protect the PDF files by applying restriction or passwords on their PDF files. It allows users to add interactive features in their document including multimedia files. Where a PDF has multiple features on the side a major problem is there with PDF. Sometimes the PDF files which contain all the essential and valuable documents get corrupted or damaged all of a sudden.

A PDF file can be easily corrupted at any point of time as corruption is always uninvited but very painful. There are several factors which can lead the corruption of PDF files. Some of the main reasons which play an important role in PDF corruption are:
