PDFs are a really popular file format system that allows you to lock down your content and designs and protect them from being changed. Adobe created PDF so that files could be transferred between computers and operating systems for printing, but as our digital habits have changed with the introduction of tablets and smartphones, we\u2019re increasingly using PDF as the end format.<\/p>\n
