It’s not a coincidence that all major industry professionals that work with text documents use PDF. It’s simply the most adequate format for all the necessities that come with a job that implies a lot of adding, editing, cutting and manipulation of text in general. However, that doesn’t mean that PDF is just for someone that has an official job as a text manipulator of any sort. Even though the situation might have seemed that way for a very long time because regular users didn’t really tough PDF, it’s not the case.
Now, regular users are starting to use PDF more and more, or in other words they are starting to see the benefits of relying on this very performance-based format. It might not be clear at first what the advantages are when you use PDF over another format, but we can make them clearer in just a couple of simple examples. Let’s get started with highlighting the various advantages that come with PDF.
Editing is impressive
Talking about highlighting, PDF even allows you to highlight bits of the text you are editing. And by bits we means exactly as much as you need to highlight. This offers a lot of support for reviewing documents and pointing out mistakes or questionable factors within the text that is getting reviewed. You can easily edit a document.
PDF isn’t just about fixing or pointing out mistakes however, it’s also about adding more to an already great piece. If you decide you want to incorporate something from another piece into your document, you can easily combine files and produce a merger. This can really come in handy when you are trying to create a compilation of sorts from multiple texts or files.
Sharing is a breeze
Okay, sharing files in general has gotten to the point where everything is incredibly simplified. That’s not meant in a bad way as it’s obviously great that you can share your files in so many different ways these days. But no matter how many sharing options you have available, it’s still not going to make a difference if the people you’re sharing your content with aren’t able to open it. You might be able to choose between email, social media, cloud storage or 5 other ways to share your .Doc file, but if the person streaming or downloading your file doesn’t have Word installed, it’s pretty useless.
The great thing about PDF is that you don’t need any special software to read a file. Google’s Chrome browser has an implemented feature that allows users to use it to read PDF files. That’s incredibly opportune for today’s computer users which always need to share things. That being said, you never have to worry about compatibility and readability when sending out PDF files.
