What makes a PDF tool good for this?
Legal, HR, finance, and client documents need more care than casual file sharing. The right tool should make access clearer and reduce accidental public exposure.
For lawyers, the right workflow should support client documents, agreements, case packets, and secure sharing workflows without making readers request access, download a huge attachment first, or guess whether they have the latest version.
