About PDF
Portable Document Format
Adobe's fixed-layout document format from 1993, an ISO standard (ISO 32000) since 2008. It embeds fonts and images so each page looks the same on every device. Use it for documents you want to send, print or archive without the layout shifting.
About TXT
Plain text
Text with no fonts, styles or layout, usually encoded as UTF-8 today. Use it when you only need the words, for search, scripts, or pasting without formatting coming along.
