By default, the DWF
files that you create are in a compressed binary format. This is
the recommended output for most DWF files.
The compression does not result in any loss of
data; this is the recommended output for most DWF files. You can
also create zipped ASCII encoded 2D stream (plain text) files. You
specify these settings when you create or edit a DWF configuration
file.
