Convert 123 SPREADSHEET to PDF

The 123 file extension is associated with Lotus 1-2-3, a spreadsheet program developed by Lotus Development Corporation and later acquired by IBM. Introduced in 1983, Lotus 1-2-3 was known for its three main capabilities: spreadsheets, charting, and basic database operations. The 123 format, introduced in 1997, replaced earlier formats like WK4 and was used to store data in rows and columns, supporting various functions and calculations. Although IBM discontinued Lotus 1-2-3 in 2013, the 123 file format remains a legacy format.

The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file extension created by Adobe Systems in 1993 to facilitate document exchange across different systems. PDFs preserve the formatting of source documents, making them ideal for sharing text, images, and graphics in a consistent manner. Commonly used for forms, manuals, e-books, and reports, PDF files are platform-independent, ensuring the content appears the same on various devices and operating systems. This versatility has solidified its status as a standard in digital documentation, enhancing both compatibility and security in file sharing.
