सरकारी दफ्तरों से लेकर स्कूल-कॉलेज तक, PRN फ़ाइलें अक्सर ऐसी जगहों पर बनती हैं जहाँ पुराने प्रिंटर सॉफ़्टवेयर का इस्तेमाल होता है। समस्या तब आती है जब इन फ़ाइलों का डेटा किसी और को भेजना हो या Excel में खोलना हो — PRN फ़ॉर्मेट हर जगह नहीं चलता। CSV में बदलने के बाद यही डेटा मोबाइल पर भी देखा जा सकता है, WhatsApp पर भेजा जा सकता है, और ज़रूरत पड़े तो किसी भी सरकारी पोर्टल पर अपलोड भी हो जाता है। यह तरीका उन लोगों के लिए खास तौर पर काम का है जो रोज़ाना रिकॉर्ड-कीपिंग करते हैं और बार-बार फ़ॉर्मेट की दिक्कत झेलते हैं।
- CBSE या राज्य बोर्ड के परीक्षा परिणामों का रिकॉर्ड बनाना
- राशन कार्ड या आंगनवाड़ी लाभार्थियों की सूची तैयार करना
- GST या व्यापार लाइसेंस से जुड़े पुराने प्रिंट डेटा को व्यवस्थित करना
भारत में कई राज्य सरकारों के पुराने NIC-आधारित सिस्टम अभी भी PRN फ़ॉर्मेट में रिपोर्ट निकालते हैं, जिन्हें नए पोर्टलों पर सीधे अपलोड नहीं किया जा सकता। CSV में रूपांतरण इस पुराने और नए सिस्टम के बीच की खाई को पाटने का सबसे सीधा रास्ता है।
