Sorry, PDF is "Portable Document Format" you can limit what happens to it i.e. prevents copying; printing and even password protect the document.

I keep mine with lots of other moderately important things (bills, payslips, letters I need to keep, exam certificates, etc) in a big A4 ringbinder. I don't think many banks will give you a file to keep them in any more.0

I keep mine in a secure underground vault in a secret jungle location, protected by fiendish traps involving poison darts, large boulders etc.0

I use a combination of paperless banking and scanned documents. I upload scanned copies of all statements to online storage sites such as mybloop.com.
All original documents are shredded.0 -
