Format Details
XBM
XBM (X BitMap) is a monochrome raster image format native to the X Window System, used on Unix-like operating systems. Uniquely, it stores bitmap data as a C language source code array, making it directly includable in C programs without any parsing library. XBM is primarily used for small monochrome icons and cursor bitmaps in X11 applications, though it is rarely encountered outside of this ecosystem.
PDF (Portable Document Format) was created by Adobe in 1992 and has become the worldwide standard for sharing documents with precisely fixed layouts. It preserves fonts, images, vector graphics, and formatting identically across every operating system, device, and printer. PDF supports digital signatures, encryption, interactive forms, and embedded multimedia, making it essential for official documents, contracts, reports, and professional publications.
