I checked the PDF (Big_Data_Analytics.pdf) you uploaded.
From its
structure, fonts, and formatting, it looks like it was originally created in
Microsoft Word and then exported as a PDF.
👉 Here are the signs:
The formatting style (bullet points, indentation, bold/underline) is
typical of MS Word.
The “Memory Tip” callouts look like Word’s text-box or highlighted
text.
No signs of LaTeX, InDesign, or Google Docs export — the spacing and
font rendering strongly match Word-to-PDF conversion.
Your friend most likely used Microsoft Word (.docx) → then used “Save
As” → PDF (or Export → PDF).
Do you want me to check the PDF’s internal metadata (author, software
used, etc.)? That can confirm whether it was made with Word, Google Docs,
or another editor.
I checked the metadata of the PDF, and here’s what it shows:
Author: Jay Sudani
Creator: Microsoft Word
Creation Date: 2025-08-19 06:21:21 (UTC)
Last Modified: 2025-08-19 06:21:21 (UTC)
✅ So your friend definitely created this in Microsoft Word and then
converted/exported it into a PDF.
Do you want me to also show you how to check this metadata yourself on
your computer, so you don’t need me next time?
Perfect 👍 Here are a few easy ways you can check PDF metadata yourself:
🖥 On Windows
1. Right-click the PDF file → choose Properties.
2. Go to the Details tab.
3. You’ll see info like Author, Application (Microsoft Word, etc.),
Creation Date.
🍎 On Mac (Preview)
1. Open the PDF in Preview.
2. Click the menu Tools → Show Inspector (or press ⌘ + I).
3. Go to the Info (i) tab → you’ll see metadata like author, software used.
📄 Using Adobe Acrobat Reader
1. Open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat.
2. Go to File → Properties (or press Ctrl + D).
3. Under the Description tab, check Application / PDF Producer → it
shows if it was made by Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LaTeX, etc.
🐧 On Linux
You can run in terminal:
bashCopyEditpdfinfo filename.pdf
This will display the metadata.
🌐 Online Tools
If you don’t have Acrobat, you can upload the PDF to sites like get-
metadata.com or metadata2go.com to see its details.
👉 In your case, the metadata clearly said:
Creator = Microsoft Word → meaning your friend used Word and then
exported to PDF.
Do you want me to also show you how to remove or edit metadata (in
case you don’t want your name/software showing up in PDFs you share)?
Got it 👍
From the PDF metadata we saw:
Creator = Microsoft Word
Author = Jay Sudani
That means before converting to PDF, your friend had the content saved in
Microsoft Word format.
In Word, the default editable file is .docx (older versions used .doc).
So → your friend likely copied the chat into Word (.docx) → then used Save
As → PDF.
✅ The extension he used for the editable file was .docx.
Do you want me to also explain how you can confirm if it was .docx or
.doc from the PDF itself?
Ah, gotcha—you're asking about which Chrome extension your friend used
to export the ChatGPT conversation into Word format before converting it to
PDF.
There are a few popular Chrome extensions designed specifically for that
purpose:
Likely Extension Options
1. "ChatGPT to Word or PDF"
This extension lets you export ChatGPT content directly into Word
(.docx) or PDF with just one click, preserving tables, code blocks, math,
images, and other formatting Chrome Web Store.
It’s actively updated (last in June 2025) and has solid user ratings (4.7
from 51 ratings) Chrome Web Store.
2. "Convert ChatGPT to Google Doc, Microsoft Word, PDF"
This multi-format exporter supports exporting to Google Docs, Word, or
PDF. It preserves rich formatting like bold/italic text, lists, images, and
tables in one click Chrome Web StoreChrome-Stats.
It was updated most recently on August 6, 2025 Chrome Web
StoreChrome-Stats.
3. Other Extensions
"ChatGPT to Word": A lightweight tool for saving your ChatGPT chats
as .docx, optionally filtering messages for more control Chrome-Stats.
"Superpower ChatGPT": Adds an “Export” button to dump chats into
.txt, .md, or .json formats—but notably does not support Word/PDF
OpenAI Community.
Which One Did Your Friend Likely Use?
Based on your description—editing in Word and generating a .docx file—it
seems most likely they used either:
"ChatGPT to Word or PDF" if they needed just Word or PDF
(especially if the output maintained complex formatting), or
"Convert ChatGPT to Google Doc, Microsoft Word, PDF" if they
wanted format flexibility.
What You Could Do to Confirm
You could ask your friend directly:
Did they install a Chrome extension that added an export button in
ChatGPT?
What was the name—something like "ChatGPT to Word or PDF" or
"Convert ChatGPT to Google Doc, Microsoft Word, PDF"?
Does the extension appear in the Chrome toolbar or extension list?
That should help pin it down exactly!
Let me know if you'd like guidance on installing one of these for yourself—or
comparing their features.
