Besides the very good mechanisms regarding page description, graphical and color operations taken from PostScript, PDF provides document navigation within a document and to outside documents as well as to the WWW, links to texts, pictures, animations and external programs as well as defining fill-out-forms. Saved documents can be secured by a password for reading, printing, editing, etc..
