PDFs are the best way to share documents that you want to ensure reach their intended audience, without accidental corruption or intended alteration. This is why PDFs are so popular for resumes, professional reports, pamphlets, and so many other files that feature text, graphics, or a blend of the two.
A PDF can be opened on a Mac or a PC and will look just the same, another major benefit. But while the text and graphics remain the same as when a PDF was created, PDFs are not entirely static documents. There are myriad features you can use to enhance them, like added text boxes, signatures, and doodles, and you can also always delete pages or add new ones.
