Convert PDB to RTF

The PDB (Palm Database) file extension for Palm Text Documents was a cornerstone for text data management in Palm OS devices. This format stored plain ASCII text in a compressed form, optimizing memory usage and ensuring efficient data handling. The compression allowed for more data storage on limited memory devices, facilitating seamless synchronization between Palm devices and computers. Palm Text Documents were essential for handling various text-centric tasks on Palm OS platforms.

RTF, short for Rich Text Format, is a document file format developed by Microsoft in 1987. It allows users to transfer formatted text and images between different word processors and platforms, ensuring consistency in document appearance. RTF supports basic text formatting, such as bold, italics, and various font types, making it a versatile choice for simple document exchange. Its historical significance lies in its widespread adoption for cross-platform document sharing before the advent of more complex formats like DOCX and PDF. RTF remains relevant for applications that require straightforward, platform-independent text formatting.
