File extension	.pdf
Category	Document File
Description	A PDF also goes by the full name of a Portable Document Format and was created by Adobe Systems at the start of the 90s. It was created as a way of allowing people to present documents in a cleaner, crisper way and in a way that allowed them to open that document on any operating system. PDF files often include graphics of some form and tend to be used in professional settings.

Technical Details	PDF files are able to include all sorts of rich text as well different graphics - both vector and raster images. The reason the PDF can be so rich in terms of features is because of the way it was built by Adobe. A specific language, called PostScript, was used to generate the layout and because of the way the PDF is designed - split into elements - it tends to be a lightweight format from a storage perspective which again adds to its widespread appeal.

File extension	.csv
Category	Document File
Description	A CSV file is so called because the values contained within the file are separated using commas. CSV files often go hand in hand with spreadsheets as it allows plain text data to be saved in a tabular format. They tend to be used when there's a need to transfer a large, and sometimes complex, data set from one place to another - often an application that can display this data in a more digestible way. An application like Excel even has a wizard that makes importing a CSV file that much more simple.

Technical Details	The structure of a CSV file is relatively simple which is not surprising given it's meant to make data that perhaps looks complex and involved and break it down into something simple and easy to read. A really simple way to illustrate a CSV file would Name,Number,Job - John Doe,0123456789,IT Manager. When a user then imports that CSV file into an application like, say, Excel, the Name, number and job will all be in separate cells and will be nicely organised in a tabular format that is then a lot easier to read for the end user.
Associated programs	The CSV file format is very simple and supported by almost all spreadsheets and database management systems
