JPF at a glance
JPF
Convert to JPF when a standards-based JPEG 2000 workflow explicitly expects that container variant.
It is useful in specialist preservation and institutional imaging systems.
CSV at a glance
CSV
Convert to CSV when data needs to move between tools rather than preserve layout.
It is the standard target for database exports, spreadsheet imports, mailing-list uploads, analytics extracts, and one-time migrations into other business systems.
Use CSV when recipients need a simple table they can open anywhere or ingest programmatically, and avoid it when formulas, multiple sheets, cell formatting, comments, or strong typing need to survive the conversion.
CSV is best when interoperability and machine-readability matter more than presentation.

What should I review after converting JPF to CSV?
Check the exported file for It has weak native typing and schema guarantees.; Quoting, delimiters, encodings, and multi-sheet semantics vary across producers..
