Data conversion is the conversion of computer data from one format to another.

Throughout a computer environment, data is encoded in a variety of ways.

For example, computer hardware is built on the basis of certain standards, which requires that data contains, for example, parity bit checks.

Similarly, the operating system is predicated on certain standards for data and file handling.

Furthermore, each computer program handles data in a different manner.

Whenever any one of these variables is changed, data must be converted in some way before it can be used by a different computer, operating system or program.

Even different versions of these elements usually involve different data structures.

For example, the changing of bits from one format to another, usually for the purpose of application interoperability or of the capability of using new features, is merely a data conversion.

Data conversions may be as simple as the conversion of a text file from one character encoding system to another; or more complex, such as the conversion of office file formats, or the conversion of image formats and audio file formats.

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.

Portable Document Format (PDF), standardized as ISO 32000, is a file format developed by Adobe in 1992 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 has its roots in "The Camelot Project" initiated by Adobe co-founder John Warnock in 1991.

A digital image is an image composed of picture elements, also known as pixels, each with finite, discrete quantities of numeric representation for its intensity or gray level that is an output from its two-dimensional functions fed as input by its spatial coordinates denoted with x, y on the x-axis and y-axis, respectively.

Depending on whether the image resolution is fixed, it may be of vector or raster type.

Freeware is software, most often proprietary, that is distributed at no monetary cost to the end user.

There is no agreed-upon set of rights, license, or EULA that defines freeware unambiguously; every publisher defines its own rules for the freeware it offers.

For instance, modification, redistribution by third parties, and reverse engineering are permitted by some publishers but prohibited by others.

Unlike with free and open-source software, which are also often distributed free of charge, the source code for freeware is typically not made available.

Freeware may be intended to benefit its producer by, for example, encouraging sales of a more capable version, as in the freemium and shareware business models.
