What qualities make .pdf files unique from other files?
  1. .pdf files are the only type of documents that can be successfully transferred with audio embedded in the body of the document.
  2. All U.S. government information and paperwork is released in .pdf attachments.
  3. .pdf files save all of the settings and aesthetic values of a document and make them readable by users who may not have the same programs or formatting elements the author used in the file.
  4. .pdf files are the only type of documents that can be successfully transferred with videos embedded in the body of the document.
Explanation
Answer: C - A .pdf file is unique because its appearance, including formatting, images, fonts, etc.,is independent of the program in which it was created. For example, if someone authored a company brochure on a program in Apple's iWork creative suite, then sent it to a colleague who only had access to Windows-based software, the file might not open at all or would be distorted because the codes didn't translate evenly between those programs. By saving (or exporting) the brochure in a .pdf format, the file will retain all of the settings and qualities of the original version of the document even if the file is viewed on a different type of computer or does not have fonts installed to their system that the author used in the brochure. However, .pdf files are incapable of transferring audio or video embedded in a document.
