While it wasn't really a requirement based on the information in the BoM, I do understand why FIRST chooses the PDF format for distributing the manual. The compression is awesome, and it allows them to ensure that every person who opens the file will be seeing the same thing. With any other program, even Word or Excel, if the fonts, or program settings, or just about anything, are not exactly the same, things can be thrown way off...
Meh... they could use .ps But seriously, I'd have to agree that .pdf is the most "universal" format when it comes to the windows and macintosh platforms.
