Convert WKS to PDF

The WKS file extension represents Microsoft Works Spreadsheet, a part of the Microsoft Works suite. First introduced in 1987, Works was designed as a streamlined, affordable alternative to Microsoft Office. The WKS format specifically handled spreadsheet data, facilitating tasks such as budgeting, data analysis, and inventory management. Despite its simplicity, it enabled users to perform essential functions like data sorting, basic calculations, and charting. Over time, Microsoft phased out Works in favor of the more advanced Office suite, yet WKS files remain a legacy format, occasionally encountered in archival data and older systems.

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.
