Talk about WAY off topic...
The creator of an Acrobat document has a lot more flexibility than plain
ASCII text offers. He/She can add bookmarks and indexes. They can embed
URLs, graphics, sound, movies, etc. They can link to other services on the
Internet. With the right kind of compression, it's document size is small.
And most of all, it's entirely cross platform with absolutely no display
issues.
For the end user, he/she may search, jump to specific pages, zoom, cut, copy
and print.
The Acrobat program is only like $99 if you really want the ability to edit
the document.
