Say what a PDF is
Say what a PDF is, and why so much arrives as one.
A PDF is a document frozen the way its maker laid it out — the same on every screen and every printer.
That is why statements, tickets and forms arrive as one: nothing slips out of place on the way.
Key points
- A PDF is a document fixed as its maker laid it out
- It prints the same everywhere, which is why bills arrive as one
What to remember
- A PDF is for reading and printing, not changing.
- It is chosen so nothing shifts between their screen and yours.
