Document Format Information

Common Document Formats

DOCX is Microsoft's XML-based format that replaced DOC in 2007. PDF preserves formatting across all devices and platforms. ODT is an open-source alternative used by LibreOffice and OpenOffice.

Choosing the Right Format

Use DOCX for editable documents, PDF for final distribution, HTML for web content, and plain text (TXT) for maximum compatibility and smallest file size.

Fun Facts About Document Formats

  • •PDF (Portable Document Format) was created by Adobe in 1993 but didn't become an open standard until 2008, when it was published as ISO 32000.
  • •The DOC format dates back to 1983 and was originally designed for Microsoft Word for MS-DOS.
  • •EPUB was developed by the International Digital Publishing Forum and became an official standard in 2007, designed specifically for digital books.
  • •A typical DOCX file is actually a compressed ZIP archive containing XML files and other resources like images.

Did You Know?

When converting between document formats, several factors can affect the final result:

  • Complex formatting like tables, columns, and text boxes may not convert perfectly between formats
  • Fonts that aren't embedded may be substituted when converting to PDF or other formats
  • Macros and scripts in DOCX files are typically lost when converting to simpler formats
  • Converting from PDF back to editable formats often results in formatting issues due to PDF's fixed layout nature
"The best document format is the one that preserves your content's integrity while meeting your audience's needs."

Why Convert Between Document Formats?

  • Share documents with people using different software or operating systems
  • Archive documents in formats designed for long-term preservation
  • Reduce file sizes for easier sharing and storage
  • Meet specific requirements for work, school, or publishing submissions
