Microsoft Office

Microsoft Office is a desktop and cloud productivity suite that includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and related apps. In PDF workflows, it is commonly used to create source documents and export them to PDF from the native authoring application, preserving layout for sharing, printing, or archiving.

It is used by business teams, educators, administrators, and knowledge workers who already produce documents, spreadsheets, and presentations in Office formats. A distinguishing trait is that PDF creation is built into the core apps, so users can generate PDFs directly from the same tools they use to author content, without needing a separate PDF editor for basic output.
