  I'm guessing this is a PDF because it's an extract of paid content,
and PDF has a more effective copy restrictions implementation ("DRM").

  I've seen PDFs from Microsoft Downloads before.

  I PDF to word processor docs, as (1) PDFs won't look different on a
different computer and (2) it's pretty hard to accidentally edit a
PDF.

  I'm somewhat surprised Microsoft hasn't been pushing XPS more.  But
I'm happy they're not; I don't need Yet Another Viewer to support.
