Microsoft Word Document - Legacy (.doc)

The DOC file extension, standing for "Microsoft Word Document", is a legacy format used by Microsoft Word. Introduced in the early 1980s with Microsoft Word for MS-DOS, it became the standard format for saving documents until the adoption of the DOCX format with Microsoft Word 2007. DOC files encapsulate text, formatting, images, and other document elements, and were pivotal in advancing word processing capabilities, offering extensive features for creating professional and complex documents in both personal and professional contexts. Despite the shift to DOCX, DOC files remain significant for their compatibility with older software versions and extensive archival of legacy documents.

Portable Document Format (.pdf)

The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file extension created by Adobe Systems in 1993 to facilitate document exchange across different systems. PDFs preserve the formatting of source documents, making them ideal for sharing text, images, and graphics in a consistent manner. Commonly used for forms, manuals, e-books, and reports, PDF files are platform-independent, ensuring the content appears the same on various devices and operating systems. This versatility has solidified its status as a standard in digital documentation, enhancing both compatibility and security in file sharing.
