## DOC vs PDF

**DOC:** DOC is the legacy binary Word format used before 2007. Newer tools prefer DOCX, but DOC is still everywhere in old archives.

**PDF:** PDF preserves a document's exact layout, fonts and images so it looks identical on every device. It's the standard for sharing and printing documents.
