1. ‘DOC’ was created by Microsoft while ‘PDF’ was made by Adobe Systems.
2. Microsoft Word is used for making and editing DOC files while Adobe Acrobat is for creation of PDF files.
3. Documents created using Word and saved in PDF can be edited using Word while PDFs made using Acrobat can be edited through third-party developers.
4. ‘DOC’ is proprietary while ‘PDF’ is open source.
5. Content delivery in a DOC file is less accurate while a PDF can retain exact content and appearance of documents saved in that format.
