| Introduction | The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format used to present documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems. Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, fonts, graphics, and other information needed to display it. | Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression. PNG was created as an improved, non-patented replacement for Graphics Interchange Format (GIF), and is the most used lossless image compression format on the Internet. PNG itself does not support animation at all. MNG is an extension to PNG that does; it was designed by members of the PNG Group. |
Choose PNG from the file format drop-down menu. Or choose JPG or TIFF instead, if you wish. Click Convert To PNG, or whichever format you selected. When your file is ready, you can download it or sign in to Adobe for other sharing options.
To convert a PDF into an image or a different file format, you can follow a similar easy process using Acrobat online services. Just click the button labeled “Select files” and upload a document to convert it to a JPG or to Microsoft Office file types like Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.
Whereas a JPG is utilitarian and a good option for reducing a file’s size, a PNG is a lossless compression alternative. A TIFF is another lossless compression option, but because it usually results in larger file sizes, it’s better suited for storing and printing, while the smaller PNG is ideal for sharing images on the web.
