Converting your public handout to a PDF ensures it looks the same for everyone, no matter what device or software they use to view it. This prevents formatting issues and makes your information professional and accessible to a wider audience. PDFs are also generally more secure and easier to print.
Yes, if your original image file is blurry, the PDF created from it will also be blurry. Acrobat converts the file as it is. To get a clear PDF, you need to start with a clear, high-quality image file. Acrobat does not improve the quality of the original content.
Using Acrobat's 'Create PDF' feature often gives you more control and better quality than simply 'printing to PDF' from another application. Acrobat can preserve more document elements like links, bookmarks, and layers, which might be lost with a basic print-to-PDF function. It ensures a more robust and feature-rich PDF.
