PDF (Vector) at a glance
PDF (Vector)
Vector graphic delivery in print workflows, logo and artwork distribution as scalable PDF, and lossless vector interchange for design handoff.
TXT at a glance
TXT
Convert to TXT when you need the words without the formatting.
It is a strong target for extraction, indexing, NLP preprocessing, OCR review, notes, and system handoffs where formatting would be lost anyway.
Use it when portability and text-only access matter more than layout, styling, or embedded media.
