Converting PDF and Word to XML
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a plain text language that uses self descriptive tags.
The main reason for converting to XML is that it provides an underlying technology that gives portability of information across platforms, and applications.
Data that is now in PDF or Word can be used for a variety of purposes once it is converted to XML.

About XML
XML is not a replacement for HTML which is a descriptive language. XML is designed to transport and store data, HTML is designed to display data.
XML is a general-purpose specification for creating markup. Anyone can create a set of valid XML tags, (or DOCTYPE).
There are number of XML DOCTYPE definitions which have wide acceptance.
XML DOCTYPES

Extensible Hypertext Mark-up Language (XHTML) is an attempt to simplify and improve the consistency of HTML by using XML style mark-up. Riverdocs delivers converted documents in XHTML as standard.
XBRL
