also why doesn’t changing the file name from .pptx to .pdf work ?
In: Technology
Each file type is like a bowl of information. And it has a label on it (the file extension) telling you what it is. If you have a bowl of red liquid labelled gazpacho, calling it spaghetti sauce isn’t going to turn it into spaghetti sauce. Some of the ingredients are off (and so is the temperature). So changing the label doesn’t work. But if you have some way to remove the cucumber from the gazpacho, boil down the tomato sauce, and throw in some oregano and some other spices, you can turn it into spaghetti sauce.
That’s what a file convertor does. It not only changes the label of the file, it changes the contents to match the label.
