PURPOSE PDFs preserve layout and make documents easier to share or archive. STEPS Use the export, save as, or print to PDF option in your application. Choose a clear file name and save location. BEFORE CONVERTING Check spelling, links, page breaks, headers, footers, and whether comments or tracked changes should be removed. ACCESSIBILITY When possible, export to tagged PDF so headings, links, and reading order are preserved. SECURITY Do not assume PDF automatically protects sensitive content. Use permissions or redaction when required.
