    Yes, but not just that. Opening a document in Word is for the writer.

    A pet peeve of mine is when I’m sent a user guide as a Word document complete with squiggly lines under the words it doesn’t know.

    Even worse is when a colleague sends a document like that to a customer.

    PDF is a published file format, I find it hard to imagine a world where you could convince me downloading the user manual for my motherboard or downloading Lego assembly instructions should come as a word document.

    I bet this person thinks all raster images should be bitmaps. Sorry maybe that was too harsh.
