The comma-separated values file format or CSV for short is a common cross platform file format used for information exchange between disparate devices, systems, and software. Mainstream usage of the format begun in 2005, with RFC 4180 forming the basis of its specification. The format's strongest feature is the ability to store relational tabular data in a plain text format which can be imported and/or exported to any compatible application. Because of this feature and the relatively small file size, CSV is commonly used for exporting and importing data from populated databases or spreadsheet files that use a proprietary format, to other systems and applications that utilize different file formats and architectures. The csv format is limited though in its inability to represent records only from a relational data source. It does not support object oriented or hierarchical databases.
The .pdf file format extension was developed by Adobe systems in 1993 as a means of presenting documents in a consistent manner across different platforms, hardware, operating systems, and applications. The format was not released as an open source document format until 2008, though minimal proprietary technologies still controlled by Adobe Systems exist in the format. Every .pdf document carries with it the necessary meta information required to properly reconstruct the text, fonts, and graphics used to produce the document. This ensures that documents will be viewed in exactly the same way the author intended regardless of the device used to open the document. From conception to date, Adobe Systems has continued to support the format adding features with every iteration of the standard including hardened algorithms for document encryption and privacy. Today, many freely available readers exist allowing you to open and view .pdf documents and create or convert other file formats such as .jpeg and .doc into .pdf documents.

The UTF-8 character collection set is the most commonly used collection set for the storage of data records in the csv file format. It is worth noting however that csv is not limited to a single character set and indeed can function with other character sets such as EBCDIC or Shift JIS. Each record in a csv file is typically a human readable plain text line delimited by a line break command. Field separations on a single csv record can be achieved using a comma, tab, or semicolon but every record should have the same number of field separations.
The .pdf file format version 1.7 was standardized in 2008 in ISO 32000-1 and is currently recognized as an open format. The most recent release is 1.7 Adobe extension level 8 supporting Adobe's proprietary XML Forms Architecture 3.3 which introduced bulleted lists, XML Encryption, and Flash integration among other features.
