The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format developed in the 1990s to present documents, including text formatting and images, in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems.

Based on the PostScript language, each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, fonts, vector graphics, raster images and other information needed to display it.

PDF was standardized as an open format, ISO 32000, in 2008, and does not require any royalties for its implementation.

A file format is a standard way that information is encoded for storage in a computer file.

It specifies how bits are used to encode information in a digital storage medium.

File formats may be either proprietary or free and may be either unpublished or open.

Microsoft Word (or simply Word) is a word processor developed by Microsoft.

It was first released on October 25, 1983 under the name Multi-Tool Word for Xenix systems.

Subsequent versions were later written for several other platforms including IBM PCs running DOS (1983), Apple Macintosh running the Classic Mac OS (1985), AT&T Unix PC (1985), Atari ST (1988), OS/2 (1989), Microsoft Windows (1989), SCO Unix (1994), and OS X (2001).

Commercial versions of Word are licensed as a standalone product or as a component of Microsoft Office, Windows RT or the discontinued Microsoft Works suite.

Microsoft Word Viewer and Office Online are freeware editions of Word with limited features.

Free software or libre software is computer software distributed under terms that allow users to run the software for any purpose as well as to study, change, and distribute it and any adapted versions.

Free software is a matter of liberty, not price: users—individually or in cooperation with computer programmers—are free to do what they want with their copies of a free software (including profiting from them) regardless of how much is paid to obtain the program.

Computer programs are deemed free insofar as they give users (not just the developer) ultimate control over the first, thereby allowing them to control what their devices are programmed to do.

In computing, DOC or doc (an abbreviation of "document") is a filename extension for word processing documents, most commonly in the proprietary Microsoft Word Binary File Format.

Historically, the extension was used for documentation in plain text, particularly of programs or computer hardware on a wide range of operating systems.

During the 1980s, WordPerfect used DOC as the extension of their proprietary format.

Later, in 1983, Microsoft chose to use the DOC extension for their proprietary Microsoft Word format.

These uses for the extension have largely disappeared from the PC world.
