Portable Document Format (PDF) files are everywhere. The PDF file format was created by Adobe as a file format for the print industry to exchange documents that would preserve the author’s intended formatting. With PDF, it didn’t matter if a file was created with a font that isn’t on your computer or linked images were missing, because the font and images would be embedded with the file. It doesn’t matter if the file was created with Microsoft Word or InDesign or even on a Mac or a Windows computer. Once exported to PDF, the file would look and print the same across platforms. In addition to the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, there are a number of free and paid apps that work with the open PDF file format standard. One we like a lot for macOS is Smile Software’s PDFpen.
