Adobe originally intended PDF to be a colour "fax" format for sending
documents to others. It was also intended to be a universal printable
format so that recipients did not need the sender's software (OgreOffice,
PubCrawler, or whatever) to print the output of the sender's program.

In my case PDFs are one of the best most portable file formats. I use them
extensively for anything I scan and save. I never expect anyone to edit PDFs I
create but I often get editable ones as forms that I fill out and save and send
back. Best is that even old versions of the files can be read
Thank you for this information -
I did not realize that PDFs were not merely a strange sort of
word document ;-)
(I have not liked PDFs;
& have not understand the continual use of them - although some
seem to encrypt them)
