Overview Uses & Examples Why CDF? Adopting CDF Resources FAQs Download CDF Player � What is Computable Document Format™(CDF)? Today's online documents are like yesterday's paper—flat, lifeless, inactive. Instead, CDF puts easy-to-author interactivity at its core, empowering readers to drive content and generate results live. Launched by the Wolfram Group, the CDF standard is a computation-powered knowledge container—as everyday as a document, but as interactive as an app. Adopting CDF gives ideas a broad communication pipeline—accelerating research, education, technical development, and progress. ��A Quick Introduction to CDF (1:14) "Providing a customer with an interactive data viewer is much more effective than static graphs in a PowerPoint presentation." Steven R. Stuve Senior R&D; Engineer, Hamlin Electronics "Because I can change parameters on the fly, rerun models, and present results, CDF documents liberate me from the confines of static depictions of models." Seth J. Chandler Professor of Law, University of Houston Law Center "After using the Briggs/Cochran Calculus ebook that uses CDF technology, many faculty members have told us, 'This is how calculus should be taught.' [It] has exceeded our expectations and won several industry awards." Bill Hoffmann Executive Editor, Pearson "Wolfram technology let me compose the text and all 650 interactive figures in the same document. Even better, it creates a unique eBook that lets you actually interact with the figures on the page through dynamic computation." Eric Schulz, Author and Instructor Walla Walla Community College "We make these fantastic internal presentations that are dynamic and interactive in our own lab notebooks, but then we can export them to CDF and we can share them with the rest of the world, particularly with investors and vendors when we want to show them particular things that we've discovered." Brian Frezza Co-founder & Co-CEO Emerald Therapeutics "I'm quite excited about the introduction of the CDF format. It's extremely difficult for us to present our findings if we are restricted to PDF, which can only show static images, and the CDF just changes that instantly."
