Solved

Hello,
I receive documents in bitmap format that I need to fill out and return. However, I can't open them. Which application should I download?
Thank you.

    Hello
    This is an image format mainly used by Windows, which does not use a compression rate, unlike jpg/jpeg and is rarely used today.
    The PDF, on the other hand, is not an image format, but a "document" format (Portable Document Format) invented in the 90s that can contain text, tables, images, etc. and is readable/ transferable on any type of machine.
    A+

    If the answer helped you: a little thank you is nice. If it's resolved: the green button at the top is better ;-)

    Let the one who has never opened a user manual throw the first mouse at me.

      Hello
      You have Paint, which is included by default in all versions of Windows.
      Folder: %windir%\system32\mspaint.exe
      Cheers!

        Thank you for the quality and speed of the response
        I was able to open the 2 attached files.
        Is it common to have this type of file rather than a jpeg or a pdf?
        Do you know why?
