LIT is a ebook format: it stores data in the LIT format. PPM is a document format that stores data in the PPM format. This converts the reflowable ebook layout into a fixed-page document format. Metadata such as creation date and embedded colour profiles is preserved where the target format supports it. Converting between these two formats is common when the source application does not support PPM natively or when the target platform only accepts PPM. 1converter processes this conversion server-side using open-source tools.
