As bad as a PDF is, it's even worse to get a Word document. Now, imagine saving that Word document and trying to open it twenty years from now.

- blacksmith_tb 4y agoHmm, yes and no. If you want to be able to edit more than a single word or two, I'd rather have the Word doc, it can at least handle wrapping text, widow control etc. (even if the format is a moving target and even MS can't seem to always handle it... so yes, in 20yr you'll need to do your edits via DOSBox). If you only need to read it, PDF wins certainly.
- kondro 4y agoGiven I can still open and edit Word documents created 30 years ago I don't think that will be as much a problem as you suggest.
