| PDF differs from a [[dido:99_annexes:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:report|report]]. A report is a structured information artefact that contains facts, distinguished by dimensions, within a defined reporting context. PDF provides one possible representation or presentation format for report content. | PDF differs from a [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:report|report]].

| PDF also differs from [[dido:05-semantics:01-kinds-of-semantics:10-report-semantics]]. Report semantics defines the meaning of reported facts, dimensions, reporting contexts, report structures, rules, and interpretation constraints. PDF presents or transports report content, but PDF structure alone does not establish the full meaning of the reported facts. | PDF also differs from [[dido:05-semantics:01-kinds-of-semantics:10-report-semantics]].
