Why do people use PDF's... Isn't it easier just to use word documents? Or are they used because you can't copy and paste etc...

PDFs were designed to be viewed on many systems, hence Portable Document Format - they are viewable by any computer/platform with a (free) PDF reader installed. Word documents are only viewable by people with Microsoft Word (or, more recently, Open Office) since .doc is a proprietry Microsoft format.

For viewing the documents in either PDF or Doc then you need a program or viewer. |

Ahh yes, that too. And true, you need viewer software for either format. But the point still remains, DOC is a proprietry format, whereas PDF is an open format which gives it the greater advantage.

Word documents can also be opened in Notepad, and/or Wordpad...

If they that formatting though you will loose it all and have a bunch of garbled text.
