Key Features

- Consistent Formatting: PDFs maintain consistent formatting across different devices and software applications, ensuring that the document's layout, fonts, and images appear the same way regardless of the viewing environment.
- Security: PDFs support encryption and password protection, allowing users to secure their documents and control access to sensitive information.
- Interactive Elements: PDFs can include interactive elements such as hyperlinks, forms, and multimedia, enhancing the user experience and providing additional functionality beyond static documents.
- Compression: PDF files can be compressed to reduce file size without compromising the quality of the content, making them suitable for efficient storage and transmission.
