About the PDF Format
PDF is the universal standard for sharing documents that look identical on every device and platform. It preserves exact formatting, fonts, images, and layout regardless of the software used to view it. PDF supports interactive forms, digital signatures, encryption, and is accepted by virtually every business and government institution.
PDF was created by Adobe Systems in 1993 and became an open ISO standard in 2008. It was designed to solve the problem of documents looking different on different computers, and has since become the world's most trusted document format.

- Compact file sizes with good compression
❌ Disadvantages
