    A PDF is created using a PDF writer program like Adobe Acrobat, which acts like a printer driver to "print" documents electronically rather than physically. The PDF captures a digital snapshot of the document, whether scanned or created in a word processor, and saves it as a PDF file that can then be shared or attached to emails.

    How is a PDF Created?

    A PDF file can be created using PDF writers, such as Adobe Acrobat. How? Well, PDF writers
    basically act as printer drivers. In other words, PDFs are created in a way similar to the one in
    which regular printed documents are created. However, the only difference is that the PDF is
    "printed" electronically, not physically, by using a PDF writer.

    It is "printed" by being digitally captured in a snapshot from a scanned document (resulting in


    scanned PDFs) or from a document electronically created through word processing (resulting in
    a native PDF). Thus, instead of choosing a printer as the intended destination for a file, to create
    a PDF you would choose the PDF writer driver. Once created and saved as a PDF file, it can then
    be publicly shared or sent to someone as an attachment.
