The PDF is a common document format for a variety of reasons. PDF files are accessible on any device, so you can share them between desktops and phones with different screens and settings. You can open it on any computer or phone running any OS — it will appear exactly the same.

Data security is another reason we rather use PDF files to store and share personal data and documents. That’s why it is important to find a secure editor, especially when working online. Apart from password protection, particular platforms offer opening history to track down people who read or filled out the document.
