Use Apple iPhone or iPad to create PDFs without having to download additional apps
It may not always be obvious, but the fact is that PDF files—digital copies of printed documents—remain alive and well. The Portable Document Format (PDF) allows you to create a digital version of a physical document, making its storage and access much simpler than rummaging through a filing cabinet. There are several PDF applications available on the market, with Adobe Acrobat being the most recognised. However, you don't need to download any of them to create a PDF from an existing physical document using your iPhone or iPad. Just use Apple's Files or Notes app.Create a PDF from a physical document using Files
The iPhone and iPad operating systems make creating a PDF using the Files app very quick. This practical method was brought to our attention by two of our readers, chadsmo and Just_Some_Nobody, and given its ease of use, it could become a favourite for many Apple users. The process is simple: just launch the Files app, select the document you want to convert, and in a matter of seconds, you'll have a digital version of your document in PDF format. In an increasingly digital age, the power to generate digital files at your fingertips has never been more relevant.Expanding the use of Apple's Files and Notes apps
The functionality of these apps, apparently, reaches new heights as we continue to discover different uses. Creating PDFs is just one of many features that adds another dimension to how we deal with our documents. Apple's commitment to making users' lives easier remains unwavering. With each new update, new ways emerge to maximise the use of Apple devices and make our daily routines more seamless. Now you have the power to transform any document into a digital file, easily and efficiently, directly from your iPhone or iPad. The possibilities that come from the transition from paper to digital are endless and, thanks to Apple, are just a click away. This article was sourced from: Barbara Krasnoff.
