#5If I got a file in this format from someone, I think I would download the software, take screenshots of the document pages, and print them off.

#7Reasons to print a PDF:
* I want to read it in the bus.
* I want to make annotations with a pen (with colors).
* I want to compare two versions.
* ...
I try to print the documents only when it is necessary, but sometime I really need to print them and I want to be free to do it.
