About Word files

Word documents (DOCX) are Microsoft Word's editable format, based on Office Open XML. They are ideal for drafting but can look different from one computer to another.

About PDF files

PDF (Portable Document Format) was created by Adobe and is an ISO standard (ISO 32000). It looks identical on every device, which makes it the reference format for contracts, invoices and forms.
