Convert DOCX to PDB

.docx

Microsoft Office

DOCX – is a standard extension that includes the test content of the document, pictures, painted objects, styles, and other elements. It replaced the obsolete format .doc in 2007 and is used to work with Microsoft Word documents. The format allows you to work with different content based on many tools that automate the creation and editing processes. For the correct display of the DOCX files in obsolete versions of Word, you need to install a special compatibility package. It helps to convert text content to DOC format.

The DOCX extension is written in XML markup language and includes many document elements stored as separate files combined into one archived ZIP file. The appearance of such a format confirms the transition of Microsoft Office suite software solutions to the Open XML international standard. Therefore, the extension is supported by many open source applications, for example, LibreOffice Writer and OpenOffice Writer.

.pdb

ICE Book Reader

PDB files got their .sfw extension from the company that developed the proprietary file format – Seattle FilmWorks. The PDB file format was prolific in the early 1990s with mobile devices like Nokia Navigator that fell under the Palmtop category. It supported a wide variety of documents like eBook, Word documents, images, maps, and spreadsheets. A drawback of the PDB format is its inability to work across multiple platforms; a similar type of program that creates a PDB file is required on a device before the content can be accessed.

PDB files can adjust the dimensions of the document’s content to fit the size of the device output. However, several features sported by new eBook formats are lacking in PDB format files. PDB files also support a peculiar data encryption system that helps reduce the file size relative to other formats. The compressible file size remains the essential factor that favoured the PDB format as the default format used with Palmtop devices of the 1990s – which mostly had low storage capacity.
