- Description
- This is a format for presenting fonts in PDF files that was initially conceived to store symbols in the Japanese and Chinese languages because it had a 16-bit structure and allowed for more precise adjustment. CID expands the the potential for PostScript by supporting languages that do not have a left-to-right orientation, and by supporting even a vertical mode of orientation.
- It is a JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) creation that is based on 24-bit color pallette and uses a lossy compression algorithm for digital photography.
