Has anyone ever sent you a document in a format that just isn[he]#039[/he]t quite right for you? Maybe you don[he]#039[/he]t have access to the application used to create the document, or maybe you don[he]#039[/he]t need the document so much as you need what[he]#039[/he]s in it, or maybe you just flat out don[he]#039[/he]t like the format. There[he]#039[/he]s no wrong reason for disliking a file format. If it[he]#039[/he]s not your preferred format, whether you find it cumbersome to use or you just don[he]#039[/he]t like how its metadata is organized, then that[he]#039[/he]s enough of a reason for you to convert it.
