This helps with shareability, as a single PDF will be readable on every computer, smartphone, tablet, and more. One of the biggest is that the format has incredible support from almost all operating systems.
There are many reasons why PDFs are so popular. PDFs almost always contain text, but they can also contain charts, images, and hyperlinks. Adobe created the format in the late 90s and it has gone on to become a staple of document sharing across the internet. PDF is a cross-platform open format of electronic documents.
