HEIC
HEIC is the photo format iPhones and iPads use by default, about half the size of an equivalent JPG.
PDF is the universal fixed-layout document format that looks the same on every screen and printer.
FILE FORMATS
SOURCE
Apple made HEIC the default camera format in iOS 11 in 2017. It wraps HEVC-compressed images in the HEIF container, so photos take roughly half the space of JPG, and it can hold 10-bit color, depth maps and several images in one file. Apple devices open it natively, while many Windows apps, websites and print services don't.
TARGET
Adobe introduced the Portable Document Format in 1993, and it has been an open ISO standard since 2008. A PDF fixes text, fonts, images and vector graphics onto pages, so a document prints and displays exactly as intended on any device. It is the default for sharing, printing, signing and archiving.

TROUBLESHOOTING
These explain most differences.
01
The page is a photo, so it holds a picture of the text. Use an OCR tool if you need searchable text.
02
The photo is used as taken. Crop and straighten it in Photos before converting.
03
Full-resolution phone photos make large PDF pages. Resize the photo first if size matters.
04
Each HEIC file gives its own PDF. Merge them with a PDF tool afterwards.
05
HDR gain maps aren't used, so the PDF shows the standard photo.
06
Check that the file is HEIC and wasn't cut off during transfer.
Photoshop, GIMP, Preview and Paint can re-save images once installed. dragdropdo converts HEIC to PDF in the browser, on any device.
