Convert PDB EBOOK to FODT

The PDB (Palm Database) file extension, associated with PalmDoc eBooks, is a format used for storing eBooks on Palm OS devices. Originating from AportisDoc, PalmDoc files are plain ASCII text compressed using Run-Length Encoding (RLE) to save memory space. These files are decompressed on the fly by PalmDoc readers, facilitating efficient storage and quick access. The PDB format, with its Creator ID and Type attributes, ensures compatibility across various Palm applications, making it a versatile choice for eBook distribution on Palm devices.

The FODT file extension stands for OpenDocument Flat XML Document, primarily used for text documents. These files contain plain XML text, which makes them more accessible for version control and easier to integrate with software systems. OpenDocument, initially developed by OASIS in 2005, provides an open standard for office documents, ensuring compatibility and interoperability across various applications. FODT files, a subset of this standard, offer a simplified and flexible format for document exchange and storage, enhancing collaboration and consistency in document management within professional IT environments.
