About formats

CDT (CorelDRAW Template) is a template file format used by CorelDRAW, Corel Corporation's vector graphics editor available since January 1989. A CDT file is structurally identical to a standard CDR document — sharing the same RIFF-based container, vector object types, color definitions, and page layout capabilities — but is designated as a reusable starting point for new designs rather than a finished artwork file. When opened in CorelDRAW, a CDT creates a new untitled document pre-populated with the template's content, leaving the original template unchanged for repeated use. This workflow mirrors the template model found in office productivity suites, adapted for graphic design. CDT files commonly contain pre-built layouts for business cards, brochures, letterheads, certificates, posters, and other standardized print materials, complete with placeholder text, guide lines, bleed areas, and properly configured color spaces for print output. One advantage is workflow consistency — design teams can distribute branded templates ensuring every new document starts with correct dimensions, margins, fonts, and color palettes aligned to corporate identity standards. The format also saves significant setup time: rather than configuring document properties and recreating layout elements from scratch, designers begin with a production-ready foundation. Corel ships hundreds of CDT templates with CorelDRAW installations, and the format is supported across CorelDRAW versions with the same compatibility considerations as CDR.

MOBI is an ebook format originally developed by Mobipocket SA, a French company founded in 2000 that was later acquired by Amazon in 2005. The format builds on the PalmDOC/PDB container structure, adding support for HTML-based content markup, embedded images, a DRM layer, and a JavaScript subset for limited interactivity. MOBI files use a record-based database architecture inherited from Palm OS, with a header structure containing metadata like title, author, publisher, and language followed by compressed HTML content records. The format became the foundation of Amazon's early Kindle ecosystem — the original AZW format used on first-generation Kindles was essentially MOBI with Amazon's own DRM wrapper. MOBI supports reflowable text with basic formatting including bold, italic, headings, lists, and tables, as well as internal hyperlinks and a built-in table of contents. One advantage is broad device compatibility: MOBI files are recognized by Kindle devices and apps spanning over a decade of hardware, as well as numerous third-party readers on desktop and mobile platforms. The format's lightweight structure is another strength — even long novels produce compact files that load quickly on modest hardware. While Amazon has since moved to the more capable AZW3/KF8 format for new publishing, MOBI remains widely circulated in existing ebook libraries and continues to be produced by conversion tools like Calibre for maximum Kindle compatibility.
