Why are PDF files popular?

The Portable Document Format has become a de-facto standard for

document exchange across different platforms and computing

environments. More than 200 million PDF documents are posted on the

World Wide Web. Key benefits that have driven this popularity are:

• Integrity: PDF files look like the original documents they were

created from. They conserve their appearance after sharing -

regardless of platform, operating system, installed fonts or local

settings on each computer or device.

• File size: In many cases, PDF files can be more compact than their

source documents - ideal for file transfer.

• Security: PDF files can be digitally signed and password protected

to prevent unauthorized changes.

• Sharing: While the basic document content can be frozen,

commenting and mark-up tools allow collective authoring and

document review.

These advantages apply mainly to file transfer, but many people

receiving PDF files need to access the document content, in order to edit

or reformat it. This is the role of PDF Converter 8.
