	Press Proof A proof is usually made just before the actual printing job, using the finished plates and correct paper and ink, to check the colour before the final production run. See also Proof
	Proof A document printed just before the final printing job, for approval by the client and designer and to check for final changes.
	Proofing Press Special proofing presses are sometimes used to print a proof, using the same paper and ink as that which the final print job will use, but without the pressure of using the finished plates as in a press proof. Although these proofs are almost accurate, the colours are sometimes not 100% correct; they tend to be more vibrant. See also Proof, Press Proof
	Perl [Practical Extraction and Report Language] Perl is a server−side, interpreted language that provides much of the web's interactivity.
	Pixel Refers to how monitors divide the display screen into thousands or millions of individual dots to display an image. A pixel is one dot.

	What does PDF stand for? PDF stands for Portable Document Format. What is PDF? PDF is a unique type of cross platform file format developed by Adobe. Why is PDF important? PDF is Cross Platform, Navigational, Ultra-Printable, Ultra-Viewable and Smaller than other conventional document formats. Cross Platform: a cross-platform file format that represents documents independent of the software, hardware, and the operating system used to create the file. In simple words, you can read a PDF document in Windows that was created on a Macintosh that you downloaded from a Web site running Unix. Navigational: objects built into the PDF file format allow users and creators to expand the usefulness of a publication. Such items include: Internal and external links, bookmarks, thumbnails of each page, article threads, form fields, buttons for navigation, notes to annotate information, views to allow a user to magnify or reduce a page to fit within the user's computer screen. Ultra-Printable: PDF files are based on the PostScript language imaging model. This enables sharp, color-precise printing on almost all printers. Ultra-Viewable: On screen PDF files have a precise color match regardless of the monitor used. PDF files allow the user to magnify documents up to 800% without the loss of clarity in text or graphics. Smaller: PDF files can be optimized to reduce their file sizes. PDF files for example can be 1/5 of the size of their HTML counterparts. What strengths do PDF files have on the Internet?
	PDF files have many of the same characteristics as HTML documents.   PDF files can be viewed within Netscape and Internet Explorer windows. These files can then be saved for offline use or printed.   PDF files can be byte served over the Web to faster access larger amount of information. This process is similar to the process of streaming video files so you don't have to download the full file before you can use/view it. After grabbing the first part of data, page-on-demand continues to download the rest of the file. What this means is that a user could read the first page and then jump immediately to the seventh page without having to wait.   A combination of HTML and PDF format enables publishers to serve content to their users in its most useful format based on the demands of content versus technology.   PDF files need no translation, compression, or filtering on most popular Web servers.   Full-text search capabilities are available for PDF files. PDF takes document security to the next level. Creators of PDF files can prevent the copying of text, graphics, making changes and printing a document.   Developers can create their own software to read, create or modify PDF files without special permission or licensing.   Documents created in generally any program that can print, can create a PDF document.   PDF files seal the gap that many developers find when they become frustrated creating content for the Web. "I want it to look just like this! Why can't it look just like as if I make it in Word, Pagemaker, or (add program name here)? I know how to do it there!" All this without being a HTML, Java or CGI guru.
