PDF

Portable Document

PDF is a widely used file format developed by Adobe to present documents consistently across different devices and platforms. It can be opened and edited using applications like Adobe Acrobat, Foxit Reader, or web-based tools, and supports text, images, and interactive elements. The format is structured as a combination of vector graphics, raster images, and text, with advanced features such as encryption, digital signatures, annotations, and form fields for enhanced functionality.

TXT

Plain Text File Format

A TXT (Plain Text File) is a simple and widely used file format that stores unformatted text, making it universally readable across different platforms and devices. It can be opened and edited by basic text editors like Notepad, TextEdit, and more advanced tools like Notepad++, VS Code, or even integrated development environments (IDEs). The format contains only raw text characters, without any embedded formatting, images, or metadata, though it supports basic line breaks and encoding standards like ASCII or UTF-8 for multilingual text.
