DOC is the older Microsoft Word format used in Word 2003 and earlier, while DOCX is the newer format introduced in Word 2007 based on the Open XML standard, which creates smaller, more efficient files. If you have Microsoft Word 2003 or earlier, you’ll need to download the free Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack to open, edit and save DOCX files.
You can directly convert both DOC and DOCX file to PDF with Adobe Acrobat's Word to PDF converter tool.
