pdfs

Fixed-layout digital files

Pdfs is the plural of pdf, an informal lowercase rendering of PDF—a file format that preserves document formatting across different devices and operating systems.

In casual writing, especially in emails or text messages, people often skip the caps: I'll send you the pdfs tomorrow, Can you combine these pdfs into one? (Uppercase PDFs is the standard form.)
