A PDF, or Portable Document Format, is a file format developed by Adobe that allows documents to be presented in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems. Here are some key features of PDFs:
- Consistency: PDFs maintain the same formatting across different devices and platforms, ensuring that the document looks the same everywhere.
- Security: You can add passwords and encryption to PDFs to protect sensitive information.
- Versatility: PDFs can contain text, images, links, buttons, form fields, audio, video, and more.
- Accessibility: PDFs can be easily shared and viewed on almost any device without needing the original software used to create them.
