I was watching a video where the narrator stated that changing a file type from .PDF to .PNG doesn’t change the actual file type of the document. Could anyone explain why ?

That doesn’t make sense. They are very different file formats. A PDF (portable document format) is a vector format that is often used for documents but can also be used for graphics.
A png (portable network graphic) is a raster format that supports lossless compression, which is a fancy way of saying it makes graphics look good while still being a small size.
Maybe you didn’t hear it correctly?
Unless you mean just changing the name of the file? Like changing the extension from .pdf to .png wouldn’t actually it change it from one to the other. You have to actually open it into a friendly program and save it that way.
