How to Convert a TIFF File to a PDF File in Adobe

TIFF is an acronym for Tagged Image File Format. A TIFF is an image file often used for photographs or line art. PDF is an acronym for Portable Document Format. PDFs are commonly used for document exchange. They can be emailed to a recipient or uploaded online to allow others to open and print out the document. Because of their design, PDFs are not easily edited by their recipient. They require a reader, such as Adobe Reader, to open. Adobe Reader is a free download.
