FAQs

Why convert files to PDF?

Working with PDF files has multiple benefits, with the converter to PDF being among the most used features of a PDF Editor. PDF is the most used format for sharing documents – it can be viewed or printed from just about any device regardless of its operating system, included software, or installed fonts. The file format makes reading PDFs possible on different devices without any changes to the look and feel of the original document. In addition, PDFs preserve all information of the source file, including text structure, formatting elements, visual elements, and graphics. Even multimedia features, like hyperlinks, markups, text notes, movies, and music are preserved when converting to PDF.

Are PDF conversions safe?

PDF Extra and the PDF format in general allows the safe processing of your sensitive digital documents. By supporting various types of encryption, digital signatures, and password-restricted viewing, copying, and even printing, you keep your confidential files safe and ensure that they won't be accessed by anyone else but your intended audience.
