PDF files offer advantages such as convenience and portability. This file format also allows your small business to create 'read only' PDF files. This means that other users will not be able to change and save the data in the document. You won't have to worry about someone changing your company logo or storing sensitive information from one of your PDFs on a personal computer. Unfortunately, you can't stop users from saving the original document – you can only prevent them from saving changes made after you've published the file.
