The reason a user would want their NEF to be a PDF is to share it without the possibility of the recipients accidentally editing it. There are a couple different ways to convert a NEF to a PDF. The first is by using a desktop system. Desktop converters are great for converting a lot of files at once. \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.coolutils.com\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CoolUtils\u003C\u002Fa> has an effective desktop converter product.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other way to convert is by using an online browser-based system.
