What characterizes the default PDF profile in terms of document features?

The default PDF profile is primarily characterized by its ability to produce non-searchable PDFs. This means that the typical output does not include features that would allow text to be searched or extracted easily. The focus of this profile tends to be on simplicity and straightforward representation of documents without the complexities that support searchable text, annotations, or advanced formatting.

This is important in scenarios where the readability of the document is prioritized over functionality. As a result, the default PDF profile often suits contexts where documents are intended for visual purposes or when the text doesn't need to be interacted with digitally, such as printing or sharing for review in fixed formats.

Other choices highlight capabilities that are generally not inherent to the default profile. It does not involve advanced editing capabilities, nor does it support a variety of document formats actively; rather, it is tailored towards a specific type of output. Also, while customization is a valuable aspect in many software profiles, the default PDF profile is limited in this regard and does not allow for extensive user modifications.
