Doc Format

Why would someone convert doc to PDF, or convert doc to DOCX or maybe convert doc to html documents?? First of all what is DOC format?

Doc (an abbreviation for ‘document’) is a file extension for a document created by Microsoft Word, the most popular word processing program. The .doc format is used for MS Word versions of between 97 and 2003. The later version of 2007 uses a different format.

MS Word was first created in 1983 for Xenix systems under the name Multi-Tool Word. Later newer versions were written for several other platforms like DOS running IBM PCs in 1983, the Apple Macintosh in 1984, and SCO Unix, OS/2, and Microsoft Windows in 1989. The MS Word programs have the ability to create and share documents using a set of writing tools. These documents may include formatted text, images, tables, graphs, charts, page formatting, and print settings.

Why convert doc to other formats ?

A main feature of the .doc format, which many find a problem, is the fact that the format is highly variable. In other words, the older versions cannot correctly read, or render files generated by newer versions. For example, a file created in MS Word 2007 cannot be read in MS Word 2003, nor a file created in MS Word 97 be read in earlier versions. This is because the structure of the document cannot be seen; hence the hidden codes of one document of a version make it unreadable in another version.

Convert doc to PDF

PDF has many advantages. First, there is a free Acrobat Reader to view PDF files which works on all platforms (Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Solaris). It’s hard to find a computer without PDF Reader in the office today as PDF has become the de-facto standard of all kinds of documents, user manuals, etc. Unfortunately to edit PDF files one has to buy Adobe Acrobat.

Another fat advantage of PDF for the document workflow in the office is that full control of the documents. You can encrypt PDF files, protect it with a password or forbid certain actions like editing or printing. Besides, PDF files are very compact and can be easily sent via email.
