Convert PDF to ASCIIDOC

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.

The ASCIIDOC file extension stands for Ascii Document. It is a lightweight markup language used for writing documentation, articles, books, and technical content in plain text. Created in 2002 by Stuart Rackham, AsciiDoc supports structured, human-readable formats that can be converted into various output formats like HTML, PDF, and DocBook. Its simplicity and flexibility make it a preferred choice for developers and technical writers, enabling efficient content creation and collaboration.
