## Installation
<TabsPackage name="@tabler/icons-pdf" />
or just [download from Github](https://github.com/tabler/tabler-icons/releases).
Files live in `icons/outline` and `icons/filled`, one PDF per icon, named after the icon.
## Usage
A PDF icon is a vector file, so it stays sharp at any size and prints cleanly. Place it the same way as any other vector asset.
- **Documents and presentations.** Insert the file directly in Word, Pages, Google Docs, Keynote or PowerPoint. Scaling it up will not blur it.
- **Print and layout tools.** InDesign, Affinity Publisher and Scribus place PDF files natively, keeping the paths editable.
- **Vector editors.** Illustrator, Affinity Designer and Inkscape open a PDF icon as editable paths, so you can change the stroke or recolour it.
Each icon is drawn as a stroke, not a filled shape. Recolour the stroke rather than the fill, and keep the stroke width proportional when you resize - otherwise a large icon looks thin and a small one looks heavy.
## CDN
Load a single icon straight from the package without installing it:
<Code lang="html" code={`https://unpkg.com/@tabler/icons-pdf@${site.iconsVersion}/icons/outline/home.pdf
https://unpkg.com/@tabler/icons-pdf@${site.iconsVersion}/icons/filled/home.pdf`} />
Swap the version for `latest` to always pull the newest icons, or keep it pinned so the set stays stable.
## When to use another format
Use [SVG](/icons/static-files/svg) on the web - it is smaller and can be styled with CSS. Use [PNG](/icons/static-files/png) where vectors are not supported at all. PDF is for documents and print.
