Extra features and usage of PDF files

We know how PDF works. It’s a printable format of the document that Adobe invented. It looks professional, doesn’t change the structure in different systems and is worldwide. We often use PDF file format for sending the documents through the office staff, sending our CVs or Resumes, downloading e-books, etc.

Here’s how you can add extra likability to PDF file format in your file.

Turn your photos into an e-book

If you don’t have time to copy all the thing your professor wrote down the whiteboard, or if you want to copy the book, but you only had your phone there, you can build an e-book out of them in PDF file format. Visit Sodapdf website and upload your photos, find the option to convert JPG, PNG or other picture formats to PDF and voila, the job’s done.
