When you’re ready to share a new design with your coworkers, send a contract to your client, or create a user guide for your customers, one of the most reliable file types to use is the PDF. Luckily, file conversion first-timers who do not spend their work days on a computer can easily learn how to make a PDF file out of images, documents, and other file types. There are several methods for creating PDFs on your Mac, on your PC, and online.[br][br]What Is a PDF?[br][br]The Portable Document Format (PDF) is the industry standard file format for document sharing. Developed by Adobe Systems, a PDF is an exact replica of whatever file you want to duplicate, whether that be a photograph, text file, web page, graphic design, word processing page, or a screenshot. When you convert documents to PDF, any future edits or alterations will leave a digital footprint. PDF files can be password protected and have editing or printing features limited by the document creator.[br][br]Adobe Acrobat Reader[br][img src="/storage/emulated/0/Pictures/Screenshots/IMG_20190528_105333_849.jpg"][br][br][br]In order to open any PDF file, you need Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your desktop. [a href="https://get.adobe.com/reader/"]Adobe Acrobat Reader[/a] is free and available to download online, but many computers come with it pre-installed.
