PDF is one of the most popular and commonly used
file formats in the world. It is used in almost every profession, from lawyers
and accountants, all the way to professors and students. Further, people who
are trying to go green and protect the environment also fall into the category
of its users.
Portable Document Format (PDF) was invented by
Dr. John Warnock, Adobe co-founder, and it was introduced to the market in the
early 90s. They cost nothing to make and can be interactive as well. The main
PDF characteristics are:
- PDF documents look the same on each OS
- They can be password protected and cannot be
easily edited
- PDFs can consist of all kind of formats like
pictures, videos, audio files and the list goes on.
One of its best features is at the same time its
biggest disadvantage. PDFs are hard to edit. That's right, once you have
created your PDF file there is no easy way to edit it. You can either retype
the whole document or convert it to text editing format by using desktop PDF
converting software.
But what about people who are on the go with
only a phone in their pocket? Luckily, there are plenty of pdf converter apps
available on the market. Since most of them are slow and doesn't provide
accurate results the main problem is finding the right one.
