| Overview |
| PDF is a format which stores documents that can include text with distinct fonts and images. The text that is present in it is of static or fixed format which is just like an image and it remains exactly the same even if we open this file using other programs, hardware and different operating systems. That is why it is recommended to convert the file into this format before printing or transferring, so, that the arrangement of the lines remains the same. Thereby, the output that is generated is always a printer-ready. These files are editable and can be amended using various editors. Several files can also be merged and compressed online. It does not only support Adobe Acrobat Reader but also other similar programs. These files can be sent, saved and viewed easily using phones, computers or tablets. |
| Technical description |
| There is a vast horizon of features that are available in PDFs. The content in it can have logical structuring elements, annotations, rich media, digital signatures and 3D computer graphics data (U3D); etc. Although, it is a 7-bit ASCII (American Standard Code for information interchange), yet, it may contain binary content as well. This file starts with a header which indicates how bits are used to encode information, succeeded by the version of the format. Furthermore, it is a subset of COS i.e. Carousel object structure, which expands to eight primary objects named as- Boolean Values (true or false), numbers, strings, names, arrays, dictionaries, streams and the null object. These files can also be password protected for security reasons. |

| Overview |
| Another name for ODT is Open document format for office applications i.e. ODF. It is a Zip compressed Extensible Markup Language (XML) based open format. It is a substitute for Microsoft’s office and used for creating spreadsheets, charts, presentation and other word processing documents. As it is an open software that is why there is no need to get a license, it is free of cost. A number of files and directories that have binary content can be compressed using ZIP's lossless compression and which in result lessens the size of the file. In opendocument, there is one advantage of the separation of concerns which means, there can be distinct sections that address information separately of varied type. It may include content, styles, metadata and application settings as well. |
| Technical description |
| Based on the Sun Microsystems specification for OpenOffice.org, it was created by a technical committee under the OASIS (Organization for the advancement of structured information standards) association. However, the original developer was StarOffice which intended to provide open software for office documents. It was also released under the ISO/IEC international standard ISO/IEC 26300:2006 standard. Furthermore, there are many extensions that are used in Opendocument. This includes .odt and .fodt for word processing documents, .ods and .fods for spreadsheets, .odp and .fodp for presentations, .odg and .fodg for graphics and finally .odf for formulae in mathematics. Besides this, this format is available both as free and proprietary software. AbiWord, Adobe Buzzword, Microsoft office-2003, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016 and 2019, LibreOffice; etc are few examples of softwares that either fully or partially support this format. |
