Convert CAJ to PDF

Understanding CAJ and PDF file formats

CAJ (China Academic Journals) is a proprietary file format widely used in China for academic journal articles, especially distributed by CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure). CAJ files are similar to PDFs but require specialized software, such as CAJViewer, to open and read.

PDF (Portable Document Format) is a universal file format developed by Adobe, designed to present documents consistently across different devices and platforms. PDFs are widely supported and can be opened with numerous free and commercial applications.

Why convert CAJ to PDF?

Converting CAJ files to PDF makes academic articles more accessible, as PDFs can be opened on virtually any device without the need for specialized software. This also facilitates sharing, printing, and archiving documents.

The most reliable way to convert CAJ files to PDF is by using CAJViewer, the official reader for CAJ files. CAJViewer provides a built-in export function to save CAJ documents as PDFs.

1. Download and install CAJViewer from the official CNKI website.
