DOTX at a glance
DOTX
Convert to DOTX when the goal is a reusable Word template for future document creation, such as branded reports, letterheads, forms, policy shells, or proposal frameworks.
It is the right target when recipients should start from a controlled structure rather than edit a finished document directly.
Choose DOTX over DOCX when template semantics are the point of the file.
AI at a glance
AI
Convert to AI when the recipient needs an editable Illustrator-native asset for ongoing design work, brand management, packaging updates, or professional vector refinement.
It is the right target when preserving Illustrator editability matters more than broad viewer compatibility.
For general sharing, PDF or SVG are often simpler handoff formats.
