What made the Portable Document Format (PDF) the most popular standard for documents in the world?
The answer? – mass customer demand combined with smart marketing decisions.
Users needed a format for viewing a file that would consistently look the exact same way in any application on a 5, 13 or 27-inch screen. In addition to wide compatibility, the PDF format was specifically designed to decrease the risk of unauthorized changes being made to the original file.
PDFs = convenience + security: But what about editing?
Users all over the world prefer to have their documents in PDF format for the sake of its enhanced security.
That’s why they’re ready to ignore the fact that the logic of a PDF structure makes editing PDFs completely impossible. Or wait…is it really impossible?
Great news – it’s not. But you need to be careful.
If you try converting a PDF to DOC or PPT, the whole document structure can crash at any minute: pages can be lost and paragraphs completely ruined. If that happens, usually you have to go over the entire design and export a new PDF all over again.
Recognizing this problem, PDFfiller became among the first SaaS providers who responded to the challenge by making the structure of a PDF secure while simultaneously making the editing tools more user-friendly.
