- layer8 4y agoDocx is similarly open as PDF. (And full Adobe Acrobat compatibility is similarly difficult as full Microsoft Word compatibility. PDF has an edge here in practice because most use cases are read-only, or only very limited modification.)
- trelane 4y ago> Docx is similarly open as PDF. This is not true, as far as I can tell. > PDF has an edge here in practice because most use cases are read-only I think many folks would be extremely happy to have full-fidelity read-only access to Microsoft formats without having to have Microsoft Office. On the other side, it's _extremely_ common to both produce and consume PDF without over touching an Adobe product.
