Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stock certificates represent ownership in a company, and while electronic or "book-entry" forms of ownership are common, physical stock certificates are printed documents and cannot be submitted or received as a simple PDF. Electronic records are maintained by the brokerage or transfer agent, not through PDF documents.
