In present digital time PDF format (Portable Document Format Format) is a standard way of documentation in electronic format. PDF format is an easy and convenient way to represent the paper document.

Post Chronicle, attributed to autobiography of former Senator Barry Goldwater (R-AZ)

“American pilots were not permitted to attack North Vietnamese MIGs sitting on the runway. It could only be attacked when it was flying and showed “hostile intent.” . . . SAM missile (Surface to Air Missile Missile) sites and supporting radar could not be struck while under construction, only after they became operational and actually fired at U.S. aircraft.”
