| PDF differs from a [[private:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:report|report]]. A report is a structured information artifact 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 [[public: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 [[public:05-semantics:01-kinds-of-semantics:10-report-semantics]].

| PDF is not equivalent to a report, a report model, or report semantics. A PDF file presents or conveys report content, but the governing report model, facts, dimensions, rules, and semantic sources define the report's meaning. | PDF is not equivalent to a report, a report model, or report semantics.

| PDF rendering fidelity does not guarantee [[private:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:s:semantic]] fidelity. Automated processing of PDF content requires care, as extracted text, tables, figures, captions, and reading order may not align with the document's intended logical structure. | PDF rendering fidelity does not guarantee [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:s:semantic]] fidelity.
