The PDF format allows you to integrate various types of content – text, images and vector graphics, videos, animations, audio files, 3D models, interactive fields, hyperlinks, and buttons. All of these elements can be combined within the same PDF file and organized as a report, a presentation or a portfolio.

Convenient

PDFs are easy to create, read and use by everyone.

Secure

Offers options to set up different levels of access to protect the content and the whole document, such as watermarks, passwords or digital signatures.

Compact

Although PDFs can theoretically contain unlimited amount of information, they can be compressed into a file size that is easy to exchange while retaining full control over the level of image quality.
