About Tagged Image File Format
High-quality raster format for professional photography.
About Portable Document Format
Predictable layout on every device, strong print fidelity, universal viewers, and support for signatures and forms. Editing is harder than editing a word processor document; reflow, accessibility, and text extraction depend on how the PDF was produced.
Format referenceWhy convert TIFF to PDF?
- PDF may be the better handoff format for a design tool or publishing workflow.
- The converted copy can be tested in the destination app before the source archive is changed.
- Converting TIFF to PDF can make a photo or graphic work in software that does not accept the source format.
- The output can be optimized for a different balance of file size, transparency, and visual fidelity.
Will quality change?
Text may become editable, but page breaks and spacing can differ from the original. Review the output before sharing it. Keep the source if you may need to adjust the conversion later.
