HOW TO CUT A PDF
What is a PDF?
PDF stands for Portable Document Format, and it is a file format used to present and exchange documents in a manner that is independent of software, hardware, or operating system.
Created by Adobe in the 1990s, PDFs are now widely used for everything from sharing presentations to distributing legal contracts.
