Everything about Electronic Document totally explained
An
electronic document is any
electronic media content (other than
computer programs or system
files) that are intended to be used in their electronic form, without being
printed (although printing is usually possible).
Originally, any computer data were considered as something internal — the final data output was always on
paper. However, the development of
computer networks has made it so that in most cases it's much more convenient to distribute electronic documents than printed ones. And the improvements in
electronic display technologies mean that in most cases it's possible to view documents on screen instead of printing them (thus saving paper and the room required to store the printed copies).
However, using electronic documents instead of paper ones have created the problem of multiple incompatible
file formats. Even
plain text computer files are not free from this problem — for example under
MS-DOS, most programs couldn't work correctly with
UNIX-style text files (see
newline), and for non-English speakers, the different
code pages always have been a source of trouble.
Even more problems are connected with complex
file formats of various
word processors,
spreadsheets and
graphics software. To alleviate the problem, many software companies distribute free
file viewers for their proprietary file formats (one example is
Adobe's
Acrobat Reader). The other solution is the development of standardized non-
proprietary file formats (such as
HTML and
OpenDocument), and electronic documents for specialized uses have specialized formats–the specialized
electronic articles in physics use
TeX or
PostScript.
