Yes, Portable Document Format. But it's encapsulating a page description language as well as other elements. Every page has a physical size.

Portable means the page is the same on everything, so if the screen can't sensibly display the entire page you have to pan. At the most the viewer can reliably crop margins. However the Kindles enforce stupid minimal margins.

It's meant to exactly preview printing on paper.
