File format information for PDF and AI

Extension	PDF
Full Name	Portable Document Format
Type	Document
Mime Type	application/pdf
Format	Binary

PDF documents have been around for many years, becoming the standard format for storing and transmitting documents with rich content such as formatted text, images, tables, and other complex formatting. The format is still under development, with new features being added with each revision.

One of the reasons for its widespread adoption is its ability to store all the required document components, especially fonts, within a single file, allowing the document to be rendered equally on different platforms and devices.

PDF documents are read-only, unless opened within Adobe's own editing software. Support for importing and converting to and from the PDF format is widely supported by document editing software.

Extension	AI
Full Name	Adobe Illustrator
Type	Vector
Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Binary

The AI file format is the native file extension associated with the Adobe Illustrator vector editing software. The format stores graphics in vector form, enabling content to be scaled without any loss of detail or pixelation associated with bitmap formats.

A wide range of image data can be stored within an AI file, including basic drawing elements such as lines, curves, and other shapes and colors, gradient fill, and other effects that control the rendering of elements. All these drawing elements are arranged in an independent manner, allowing easy editing of the individual elements that make up the final image.

AI files can be imported into a wide range of vector editing software with varying degrees of accuracy, meaning that for maximum compatibility, Adobe Illustrator software is best used when editing AI files.
