| Description | DOCM refers to a Microsoft Word XML format used for text documents in Microsoft Office 2007. It uses ZIP compression to reduce file size. DOCM files are capable of cross-version use between previous versions of Microsoft Word (predating the 2007 version) using the Open XML component support. Windows, Mac, Linux, iOs, and Android devices and programs can open DOCM files, which makes this file format very versatile. Saving files in the DOCM format from Word may ensure most people can open it regardless of their version of Word or OpenOffice. | The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format used to present documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems. Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, fonts, graphics, and other information needed to display it. |
| Technical details | The main difference between DOCM and DOCX files is DOCM’s capabilities to contain macros and VBA scripts within the document. Ease of sending, receiving, downloading, and storing of these files is made possible by the ZIP file compression methods DOCM files utilize. Word documents are capable of large amounts of formatting including images, tables, margins, colors, fonts, WordArt, text alignment, and more. Most features available in other version of Microsoft Word are usable in DOCM compatible files, but converting between DOCM and other files may lead to formatting issues. | The PDF combines three technologies: A subset of the PostScript page description programming language, for generating the layout and graphics. A font-embedding/replacement system to allow fonts to travel with the documents. A structured storage system to bundle these elements and any associated content into a single file, with data compression where appropriate. |
