Portable Document Format (PDF) has become a very popular interchange format for graphical and layout-intensive documents normally used in electronic publishing environments. PDF was originally designed as a "final" document format, a simplified analogue to PostScript, and not intended to be modified or "post-processed." In practice, the dynamic requirements of document exchange over the Internet led to attempts to use PDF in a more flexible way. One of the first of these experiments was the development of the PJ open source software at Etymon in 1998. PJ is a class library in Java that implements a simplified programmatic interface to PDF documents. The demand for this kind of software proved significant, and many commercial products entered the market offering similar and enhanced features.
