Reverse conversion

ABW at a glance

ABW

Convert to ABW when the destination workflow is built around AbiWord or when preserving compatibility with lightweight open-source word-processing environments matters.

It is useful for reopening older documents, keeping continuity with Linux desktop archives, or producing an editable file for systems that deliberately avoid heavier office formats.

For broad business exchange, DOCX or ODT are usually safer targets.

DJVU at a glance

DJVU

Convert to DjVu when the source is a scanned document set and the goal is a compact, page-faithful file for archival reading or repository distribution.

It is a good target for books, historical periodicals, manuals, and other materials that are fundamentally page images rather than editable text documents.

If broad end-user compatibility is the priority, PDF is usually the easier delivery format.
