PDF stands for Portable Document Format. It was created to simplify document sharing while keeping the layout the same on any device. A PDF file can contain text, images, links, forms, and audio or video. Because they are compressed, PDF files are often smaller than Word or PowerPoint files, making them easier to share and store.
PDFs have many advantages. They look the same on all computers, phones, and tablets. They are also good for printing and protecting documents with passwords. You can add passwords, restrict editing or printing, and even apply digital signatures for document verification. However, editing PDFs can be harder than editing other formats. But not all media files play smoothly in older PDF readers. Still, PDFs work well on most modern devices and apps, including browsers and free readers, which makes them a very reliable format for sharing important documents.
The TEXT format, usually saved with a .txt file extension, is as simple as possible. It's made for plain writing, just letters, numbers, and basic symbols. That means no bold fonts, images, or fancy designs. Besides, you won't find audio or video inside a text file, because it's not built for that. Since it only holds plain text, the file size stays small, even for long documents.
One great thing about TEXT files is how easy they are to use. You can open them on almost any device, like phones, tablets, or computers, without downloading anything special. Likewise, they're perfect for taking notes, writing quick thoughts, or saving basic info. On the downside, they can't show colors, styles, or pictures. So if you need something visual or styled, TEXT might feel too plain. But when speed, simplicity, and wide compatibility matter, it's hard to beat.
