A .doc file is a Microsoft Word document. Microsoft Word 2007 uses the .docx extension, but previous versions of Word use .doc.
"doc." stands for Document and it is a type of file. It can open Microsoft Word or Word on a Mac.
.doc
To convert a .doc file to a .pdf file, you can use a word processing program like Microsoft Word or Google Docs. Open the .doc file in the program and then go to the "File" menu. Look for an option to "Save As" or "Export," and choose PDF as the file format. You can then customize the settings and save the file as a .pdf document.
The standard extension for most versions of Word has been .doc but in Word 2007 .docx is used.
