PDFs provide an easy format for sending finished documents, without the risk of sharing an editable file.
By converting a Word document to PDF you lock in the formatting, including the fonts you have used. This means that, when sharing the file, it will be seen exactly how you intended – even if they don’t have the fonts installed on their device.
With Dropbox you can convert a wide range of document file types to PDF, including GDOC (Google Docs), PPT (Microsoft PowerPoint) and TXT.
Any Word document stored in your Dropbox account can be converted to a PNG, JPG or PDF without needing to download the file or use additional software.
While both formats are associated with Microsoft Word, DOCX is the successor to DOC. The biggest difference between the two formats is that DOC files are binary, while DOCX files are based on the Open XML format.
What does this mean for file users? In addition to typically being smaller in size and more efficient than DOC files, DOCX files offer additional security benefits and are easier to open in other software due to their compatibility with the Open XML standard.
