Why Send A PDF

There are several benefits to sending a PDF file over other file formats for email attachments. PDF files ensure consistency as the recipient will see the exact same formatting and page layout. They also pose no security risks from viruses unlike other file types. Additionally, PDF files can be made in smaller file sizes for faster email transmission compared to formats like PowerPoint or Word that may contain unnecessary large file sizes from images. PDF files also have built-in navigation features like bookmarks and hyperlinks that improve usability.
