What type of file type is best for sharing documents between platforms?

  1. PDF

  2. DXF

  3. RAR

  4. XLS

The correct answer is: PDF

PDF (Portable Document Format) is widely supported by different platforms and provides a consistent layout and formatting for documents. Unlike DXF or XLS, which are specific file formats for certain software applications, PDF can be opened and viewed on different devices without compatibility issues. RAR (Roshal Archive) is a compressed file format commonly used for transferring large files, but it requires a specific application to open and may not be available on all platforms. Therefore, PDF is the best choice for sharing documents between platforms due to its universal support and ease of use.
