About XLS
XLS is the older binary spreadsheet format used by Excel versions before 2007.
Still needed when working with legacy systems or older software that doesn't support XLSX.
XLS files are limited to 65,536 rows and 256 columns — a fraction of the modern XLSX capacity.
💡 The XLS binary format dates back to 1987, making it older than the World Wide Web itself.
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.
