Victron Professional Documents Why in Docx format

Hi,

Sometime I am looking to professional portal.

Some of documents in docx format, I dont like these format. Becuase these documents are must be read only. Why Victron dont publish these documents in pdf or html format?

example: https://professional.victronenergy.com/downloads/firmware/file-download/?name=Venus%20OS%20%28CCGX%2C%20Venus%20GX%2C%20Cerbo%20GX%20and%20other%20GX%20products%29/Venus%20OS%20-%20firmware%20changelog.docx

Well, changelogs are by nature changing, so makes sense they're in .docx. If you need it in read only, just download it and export as PDF.

I can not even open the docx correctly in LibreOffice.

The formatting is messed up.

I wonder if that's a version-specific error, I have LibreOffice too and I can open the docx with no issues in formatting on mine, but perhaps I have a different version than you do?
