How to make a PDF
PDF files make it easy to share documents and keep their formatting. Here's how to make them yourself.
Portable Document Format (PDF) files are everywhere, and they're incredibly useful ways to share documents with others. PDFs are based on the PostScript language, and a big benefit of them compared to something like a Word document is that they have a very fixed layout that stays consistent no matter where you open the file. It's the ideal way to share documents for printing or signing, or if you just want to ensure it will look good on any device.
There’s no denying that Portable Document Format files (PDFs) are a crucial part of functioning in an online world. Be it for professional, personal, or creative projects, PDFs allow users to send and access documents regardless of their operating system. They also allow creators to preserve document formatting for optimal viewing.
