A non-editable PDF is a type of PDF in which the text and content can't be selected, copied, or changed. This usually happens when a document is scanned and saved as an image inside a PDF or when editing is locked using security settings. These PDFs are great for sending files like contracts, certificates, or official letters where the content must stay exactly as it is.
The file size of non-editable PDFs can vary. If they include only scanned pages, the size may be larger than a regular text-based PDF. Moreover, since no one can edit it easily, it helps avoid accidental changes, which is an advantage. Likewise, these PDFs are compatible with all major devices and systems, so anyone can open them easily. However, since it's an image-based file, you can't search, edit, or copy the text without using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tools.
DOCX is the modern file format used by Microsoft Word to save documents. It allows you to create detailed text files with different formatting options, such as fonts, colors, tables, pictures, and charts. Compared to older formats, DOCX files are usually smaller because they use compression, which helps save storage space. This format is widely compatible with many word processors and devices, including Windows, Mac, and mobile apps. It makes it easy to open and edit your files almost anywhere.
One big strength of DOCX is how easy it is to customize your document’s appearance while keeping everything organized and neat. However, unlike PDF, which can preserve the formatting, DOCX may not show the formatting perfectly, especially with complex layouts. Also, because DOCX files can include many elements, very large files may slow down older devices. Still, DOCX remains one of the most popular and powerful formats for everyday document work.
