Why are PDF files popular?
The Portable Document Format has become a de-facto standard for
document exchange across 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.
The ability to create PDF files, to do advanced
commenting and to apply security are beyond
the scope of this PDF Reader. Such features
and many more are provided by Nuance PDF
Converter Professional 7.
