What is a The Cover Letter?

A the cover letter is a pdf form that can be filled out, edited or modified by anyone online. PDF (Portable Document Format) is a file format that captures all the elements of a printed document as an electronic image that you can view, navigate, print, or forward to someone else. PDF files are created using Adobe Acrobat or PDFSimpli. PDF files are more than images of documents. Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format used to present and exchange documents reliably, independent of software, hardware, or operating system. Invented by Adobe, PDF is now an open standard maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

PDF files can contain not only images and text, but also interactive buttons, hyperlinks and embedded fonts. They can also include interactive elements such as buttons for forms entry and for triggering sound and Quicktime or AVI movies. PDF files are optimized for the Web by rendering text before graphic images and hypertext links.

Free-to-use online PDF editors, such as PDFSimpli, that make it really easy to fill out forms, like ones you sometimes see on a job application or a tax form. Just upload your PDF to the website to do things like insert images, text, signatures, links, and more, and then download it back to your computer as a PDF.

Did you know the cover letter can include encryption and digital signatures, file attachments and metadata to enable workflows requiring these features. Who knew?
