About PDF Files

PDF files can contain text, images, hyperlinks, form fields, audio, video, and digital signatures. They are the industry standard for sharing documents, contracts, reports, and publications. PDF supports encryption, accessibility features (PDF/UA), and is widely used in legal, academic, and business contexts.
