Portable Document Format (PDFs) is the most common file format in which most of the files are saved. Be it a word document, an excel sheet or a PowerPoint presentation, all of them are convertible to PDFs. When a word, excel or a presentation has to be shared via an email or any other messaging channel such as WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger to any other person, it is highly recommended that the file is converted to a PDF as it helps in retaining the structure and orientation of the data in the file.
A scanned document is also usually saved in PDF format. This could be print-text scanned documents like a passport, driver’s license or an identity card or it could handwritten documents as well. Mostly for legal and compliance purposes, even the photocopies of such documents are converted into PDFs.
