Do you remember the first time you created a PDF and how good it felt? Soda PDF tool legitimately amplifies that feeling by a billion...
Although most of us know what PDFs are, if I'm not wrong, we don't actually know that PDF stands for portable document format. Well, now you do!
With PDFs, you can present just about anything. From presentation slides to flyers and tickets, PDFs are, not-so-secretly, the world's most important file format.
What is Soda PDF?
Soda PDF is PDF creator software you can use from just about anywhere.
Home? ☑️
Work? ☑️
On your daily commute? ☑️
In the bathtub? If you're careful enough to not drop your device, sure why not.
Using the cloud, you can access your PDFs from anywhere without having to download any extra software.
It's also not just about viewing PDFs, either. It's about being able to do everything you can do on the PDF itself, from electronic signatures to annotations.
