RB at a glance

RB

Convert to DOCX when the document will keep evolving after export.

It is the right target for contracts under review, proposals with tracked changes, policy drafts, editable reports, and documents that recipients are expected to open in Word or Word-compatible editors.

If the goal is fixed presentation or print fidelity, PDF is usually better; DOCX is for collaborative editing and office workflow compatibility.
