Manuals, reports, and booklets often come as PDFs – but what if you need to edit, analyze, or reuse the content? PDFs aren’t ideal for heavy editing, which is why converting them into DOCX, XLSX, CSV, or even HTML can save you time. In this post, we’ll walk you through the most useful file formats and show you how easy it is to convert your PDFs—on mobile or desktop—with KDAN PDF Reader.

Understanding the Conversion Options
Here are a few terms you might come across when converting PDFs in KDAN PDF Reader, and what they mean:
“Retain Page Layout” vs “Retain Flowing Text”
- Retain Page Layout – Ideal for brochures and visual design documents. Preserves the original layout, but harder to edit.
- Retain Flowing Text – Keeps the reading order for easy editing. Best for text-heavy files, though formatting (like tables) may be simplified.
“PDF” vs “ePub”
- PDF: Fixed layout. Great for print-ready documents, but less flexible on mobile.
- ePub: Reflowable text. Adapts to screen size, ideal for reading on the go, but not meant for complex formatting or editing.
“EPUB” vs. “MOBI”
- ePub: Open standard, supported by most eBook readers (except Kindle). Supports rich media and reflowable layout but results in larger file sizes.
- MOBI: Designed for Kindle and Kindle apps. Compact and efficient, but less flexible outside Amazon’s ecosystem.
