Convert PDF to PAGES

Understanding PDF and Pages file formats

PDF (Portable Document Format) is a widely used file format developed by Adobe Systems. It is designed to present documents consistently across different devices and platforms. PDFs are commonly used for sharing documents because they preserve the layout, fonts, and images of the original document.

Pages is a word processing application developed by Apple Inc. It is part of the iWork productivity suite and is used primarily on macOS and iOS devices. Pages files are typically used for creating and editing text documents, and they support a variety of formatting options, including images, tables, and charts.
