PDF is an open and well documented standard - unlike word or even
openoffice files - a PDF will look the same in any reader, whatever
the software used to create it.

I'd much sooner have a PDF than a word doc, and so all the documents I
send are PDF.

In fact I'm seeing very few word documents at all, the last set of
specifications I received were all PDF, the invoices I receive are PDF
and the documents I download (academic papers, white papers,
presentations from conferences) are PDF.

Given I download documents and read them outside of the browser, I
won't find this a problem.
