HWP at a glance
HWP
Convert to HWP when the recipient workflow is built around Hancom Hangul, particularly in Korean-language government, academic, or business environments.
It is appropriate for editable forms, official templates, and collaborative word-processing when local compatibility matters more than global default support.
For international exchange, DOCX or PDF may be easier, but HWP is the practical target inside Hangul-centric environments.
EMF at a glance
EMF
Convert to EMF when placing vector graphics into Windows-centric documents, presentations, reporting systems, or print workflows that expect an Office-friendly scalable graphic.
It is suitable for charts, diagrams, and embedded illustrations in desktop-office environments.
For cross-platform web and design exchange, SVG or PDF are often better choices.
