Why PDF?
Mathematical papers are usually typeset in Knuth's
TeX system, as are the articles in
JIPAM*. This produces DVI (device
independent) files, a page description language that has only crude
support for diagrams, graphics etc. The postscript language, which is
popular for its power in combining text, graphics etc., results in files
that are too large for transmission over the internet. PDF, a form of
compressed postscript, has the capability of combining text and graphics
as well as support for colour, links and web forms.
