DBK to PCT conversion is the process of transforming a file saved in the DBK document container format into the PCT (PICT) image/document format so the content can be opened or edited by applications that support PCT. The conversion typically extracts embedded pages, images, and text from DBK and re-encodes them into PCT with options for compression and quality control.
