Difference between pdf and pdf basic format on Zlibrary (same with any other format)? (mander.xyz)

Greetings,

When downloading books from zlibrary, the top option is the format which is stated in the description, with "basic format" added in the end. The rest of the options may include the same format without the "basic format" tag in the end and they are slightly bigger.

What's their difference? Is it the same document re-formated to the same format thus making it slightly bigger or does it have anything extra?

Like, supposing there's a book which is a pdf. The options may be:

pdf basic format 1.2mb
pdf 1.25mb
epub 1mb

What's the difference between the first two?

PS. My first post on lemmy!🙃

I haven't found any difference as well, it could be that basic pdf is just pdf with reduced functions, like without bookmarks, linkings, and less image pages like covers.

Hm, I don't know all seem to be the same apart from the second page, even the linkings work etc.🤷 Tnx for trying to help tho.
