| Description | WPS Office (an acronym for Writer, Presentation, and Spreadsheets, previously known as Kingsoft Office) is an office suite for Microsoft Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android OS, developed by Zhuhai-based Chinese software developer Kingsoft. WPS Office is a suite of software made up of three primary components: WPS Writer, WPS Presentation, and WPS Spreadsheet. | The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format used to present documents independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems. Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, fonts, graphics, and other information needed to display it. |
| Technical details | .wps is the file extension used for Kingsoft Writer Documents. Microsoft Works also used this extension. The format is similar to a Microsoft Word document (.doc or. docx file) and supports formatted text, images, and advanced page formatting. In addition, Kingsoft Writer documents can be converted to Microsoft Word *.doc files in the software. | The PDF combines three technologies: A subset of the PostScript page description programming language for generating the layout and graphics. A font-embedding/replacement system to allow fonts to travel with the documents. A structured storage system bundles these elements and any associated content into a single file, with data compression where appropriate. |
