A lesser known fact about PDFs is how great they work as storage containers for other documents. We mean to show you, literally, how to attach files to a PDF document. We get it, this is not the typical value brag for PDFs, but we find it to be a very handy tool.
Let’s say you create this great summary of your brand-new project. You convert it to the PDF format (because you know how secure it is) and restrict it so no changes can be made. Throughout your summary you want to link to some data that’s stored on a network drive.
Only you realize that anyone outside your network cannot access it. Thankfully with an app like Soda PDF you can attach those files directly to your PDF. By doing this, anyone can get that extra info, even if they have no internet access.
Showing off your technical prowess is a great way to impress your boss.
PDFs will print files, exactly how they appear on screen. This lets you arrange your family photos from last Thanksgiving in the perfect way. All while knowing the formatting will never get messed up.
You send this off to your mother, who immediately requests certain pictures so she can print them out and hang them on the wall. When you attach files to a PDF document, your mother already has them.
PDFs are all about making your life a little simpler.
A PDF is a versatile format. In addition to all the ways you can modify the file, you can also use it as a storage container. You can attach other files to it which can be extracted at a later time.
