Managing files from our computer is an action that most of us perform daily, we already have a number of options to be able to create, manage or share documents with other people or in other places such as storage spaces in Cloud..
The use of PDF files has become one of the most functional and simple ways since these types of files are compatible with most operating systems and their security options are advanced.
