EZ PDF Tools

Yahoo tells me I should have a pdf file of info on my website to download rather than the word download I have now. Why is pdf easier for people to download? One of my pc's at home cannot download pdf's but it can always download word files. I would think word would be an easier download. What do you think?

Not everybody has Microsoft Word which isn't free. PDF's can be viewed for free using Adobe Reader. It also ensures compatibility and that the document will look the same on any computer.

like Samuel said everyone can have Adobe's PDF reader for free. not everyone has or will buy MS Word.

PDFs are generally not editable and it is a standard. You can create a PDF from Word but you can also create PDFs from other programs that most people don't have such as Adobe InDesign and Microsoft Publisher. This makes it much easier for others to view your material without having the exact program you have. Also, you can get Adobe Reader free from the Adobe site and you can use CutePDF, also free, to create PDFs from any application that will print.

Security and professionalism.

Also, if you convert a Word doc to pdf, it normally gives you a smaller file size Word docs can contain macro viruses; never heard of these for pdf's
