About AVIF to PDF
Some forms and printers only take PDFs. Putting AVIF images into a PDF makes them printable and attachable even where AVIF itself is unknown.
Animated AVIF files keep only their first frame.
PDF has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with white.
All files you add go into one PDF, one image per page, on A4, US Letter, or image-sized pages.
Metadata such as EXIF and GPS location is not copied, because the image is redrawn on a canvas.
