PDF thesis
The PDF versions follow exactly the UHH submission standards, including the layout of the title page. So ideally, you opt for this version. The underlying LaTeX templates are based on the University templates provided by the Department of Socioeconomics as well as the Department of Informatics working groups VSIS and Security & Privacy.

Word thesis
If you do not want to limit yourself to the template design and would like to share your thesis with others for collaborative editing the Word version might be more suitable. But beware that there are currently some limitations when rendering from R Markdown to MS Word. For instance,
- the title page layout cannot be done completely from within R Markdown as in the PDF version. As a workaround, some of the text parts are currently placed under the ‘author’ section. The best solution is to modify the title page manually in Word right before submission. Use for the design the ‘front-page-example.pdf’ file.
- a table of figures and tables cannot be automatically generated as in the PDF version.
