Why Turn Pictures into PDF Files?
When emailing scanned documents, IDs, medical records, or tax paperwork, sending raw camera photos ('.HEIC' or '.JPG') often leads to sizing errors, orientation issues, or recipient software incompatibility. PDFs preserve exact printable page proportions, prevent accidental editing, and open seamlessly on every smartphone, tablet, and computer.
