PDF (Portable Document Format) is a popular file format developed by Adobe that stores documents in a way that can be opened, viewed and printed on any device. It is widely used for creating, sharing and printing documents around the world.
The PDF format has been designed with security in mind and ensures document integrity, meaning that it cannot be easily edited or modified without authorization from the creator of the document. As such, it is often used to share sensitive information between parties over the internet or within an organization’s internal network.
In recent years, blockchain technology has been adapted to store digital documents in their original form as PDF files on public ledgers like Ethereum and Bitcoin. This allows users to securely share data across multiple networks while maintaining its integrity due to cryptographic protection applied to each transaction between two or more parties. In addition, this approach also reduces costs associated with traditional methods of sending secure documents since there are no third-party fees involved when using blockchain technology for storing digital assets such as PDFs.
Cryptocurrency platforms have begun offering services where users can securely upload their PDFs onto distributed ledgers without having to worry about tampering or unauthorized access by malicious actors online. By leveraging blockchain’s immutable nature, these platforms provide a secure solution for storing confidential files which are highly resistant against cyberattacks compared to other centralized solutions available today
