Is Adobe acrobat (.pdf) a suitable data exchange format?
Adobe Acrobat files (.pdf) are listed in the e-GIF as an approved file type for document presentation. This is to enable a user to view information using a Web browser as opposed to processing that information. XML is the mandated standard for the exchange of processable data and hence without a complementary XML exchange .pdf files are not e-GIF compliant for information interchange.
