PDF is a pointless file format that should not exist. Come at me.

It's good for sending documents you don't want to be tampered with because most people don't know how to edit a PDF.

This. I care about graphic design and aesthetics. So when I send a document to a group for review, I’m not taking the risk of giving them something they could mess with.

You can lock other file formats too though

Pdf will always look the same though. A doc/docx file can look wildly different depending on the editor you are using.

Pointless?? Really? We should have just stuck with postscript? I’m pretty happy with pdf for almost anything as there’s a good chance it’ll render how whoever sent it to me was seeing it. What would you suggest/do different?
