Understanding SZA and PDF file formats

SZA is a compressed archive file format created by the StrongZip Archiver software. It is used to bundle and compress multiple files and folders into a single file, similar to ZIP or RAR formats. SZA files are primarily used for storage, backup, and sharing purposes.

PDF (Portable Document Format) is a widely used file format developed by Adobe for presenting documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems. PDF files can contain text, images, and other data, and are commonly used for sharing read-only documents.
