[PDF] files are good for distributing certain types of documents because:
# They can't be trivially changed by the receiver (compared to emailing MicrosoftWord documents)
# Because it is a true page description language, the same document should display the same on any viewer. (Word documents are notorious for displaying differently on different machines, depending on the version of MicrosoftWord in use, the fonts available to the machine, and the type of printer that computer is using as the default printer.)
