📌 Why this matters
Converting your code to PDF creates a permanent, formatted snapshot that's invaluable for code reviews, documentation, and sharing with stakeholders who don't use development tools. You can attach it to emails, include it in reports, or print hard copies for offline review sessions. Beyond simple sharing, PDFs preserve your syntax highlighting and formatting exactly as you see it, making your code readable for non-technical team members while maintaining the visual context that plain text strips away.
