    HP Care Pack Buying Guide

    Word documents are best suited for editing environments. Once you have a finished document that’s ready to share, it’s best converted to a PDF (Portable Document Format) file.

It’s a standard business format that finds use everywhere. A PDF also offers other distinctive advantages, like the ability to password protect your files and digitally sign them.
