About PDF
PDF (Portable Document Format) is a fixed-layout file format that preserves fonts, images, and formatting exactly as designed, no matter which device or software opens it.
Ideal for sharing final documents, contracts, and forms that must look identical on every screen or printer.
PDF was created by Adobe in 1993 and became an open ISO standard (ISO 32000) in 2008.
💡 The letters PDF stood for a much longer internal codename at Adobe: "Camelot" was the project's original name.
About TXT
TXT is plain, unformatted text with no fonts, colors, or embedded images — just raw characters.
Perfect for notes, code snippets, logs, or any content where formatting doesn't matter and universal compatibility does.
A .txt file can be opened by virtually every device made since the 1970s, from mainframes to smartwatches.
💡 Plain text has outlived nearly every other file format — the format itself dates back to ASCII, standardized in 1963.
