PDF documents are now being used almost everywhere. Long ago, when they have just been introduced, it was difficult for us to use these documents as there were no options for any kind of change. All we could do was just read or view the documents. There were no PDF tools for teachers, admins, and students.
However, with the introduction of other tools, we were able to do different things with PDFs which made it easy for us to use them for various purposes.
