I think they had to support it due to OpenOffice.org. Did you know that the original reason I downloaded OpenOffice.org was so that I could turn a Word document into a PDF document? Now I use OpenOffice.org on half my computers that don't already have Microsoft Office. ------------- http://www.wistex.com" rel="nofollow - WisTex Solutions http://www.caribbeanchoice.com/forums" rel="nofollow - CaribbeanChoice Forums |

The State of Massachusetts in the US was making PDF their official document format. Any software had to be capable of producing pdf's or it would be replaced (with open office ?). MS could smell a trend.
