In contrast to static formats such as PDF, the CDF Player contains an entire runtime library of Mathematica allowing document content to be generated in response to user interaction and digital textbooks. Styles can be controlled using a cascading style sheet.ĬDF files can be read using a proprietary CDF Player, downloadable from the Wolfram Research website but with a restricted license. Paginated layout, structured drill down layout, and slideshow mode are supported.

CDF supports Mathematica typesetting and technical notation. Contents can include formatted text, tables, images, sounds, and animations. Content is updated using embedded computation in response to GUI interaction. Features Ĭomputable Document Format supports GUI elements such as sliders, menus, and buttons. As of 2021, the Wolfram Research website lists CDF as a 'legacy' format.

CDF was created by Wolfram Research, and CDF files can be created using Mathematica. Computable Document Format ( CDF) is an electronic document format designed to allow authoring dynamically generated, interactive content.
