The PPT format is a proprietary binary file format developed by Microsoft. It is mostly associated with Microsoft office PowerPoint, a closed source slide show presentation application. In Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 onwards, the .ppt filename extension format was superseded by the .pptx format which is part of the Office Open XML specification. Documents to be saved in the .ppt format are saved as PowerPoint 97, 2003 presentations.
The .pdf file format extension was developed by Adobe systems in 1993 as a means of presenting documents in a consistent manner across different platforms, hardware, operating systems, and applications. The format was not released as an open source document format until 2008, though minimal proprietary technologies still controlled by Adobe Systems exist in the format. Every .pdf document carries with it the necessary meta information required to properly reconstruct the text, fonts, and graphics used to produce the document. This ensures that documents will be viewed in exactly the same way the author intended regardless of the device used to open the document. From conception to date, Adobe Systems has continued to support the format adding features with every iteration of the standard including hardened algorithms for document encryption and privacy. Today, many freely available readers exist allowing you to open and view .pdf documents and create or convert other file formats such as .jpeg and .doc into .pdf documents.

The ppt format uses Microsoft's OLE 2 compound document file format. It contains a hierarchical structure of storage and streams broken down to a user stream, PowerPoint document stream, pictures stream, an optional stream, and custom XML data stream. Actual content is represented as slide containers within the document stream. The format allows the inclusion of external objects such as pictures, sounds, and movies into one presentation.
