CDF is a document file standard developed by Wolfram Research, an multinational company founded in 1987. CDF document may contain such interactive materials as graphs, tables, video clips, text, or infographics.

CDF files are mainly used for creating various business and scientific presentations. CDF documents may also be used as a part of Web-based interactive learning courses. CDF files don’t require any particular software tool installed on the disk in order to open them – users just need to download a dedicated CDF plugin for web browser and install it.
