DRF at a glance
DRF
Convert to DRF when compatibility with an older camera-specific raw library is required.
In most workflows today, DRF is a preservation or migration target rather than a preferred everyday format.
DOCM at a glance
DOCM
Convert to DOCM when the output must retain or deliver Word macro functionality, such as automated forms, button-driven templates, mail-merge helpers, or internal workflow documents with embedded VBA.
It is appropriate only when the recipient environment expects macro-enabled Word files and can handle the associated trust model.
If macros are not needed, DOCX is the safer and more portable choice.
