PDF is actually one of the most open standards there is, universally accepted wherever document exchange takes place. Much more so than a document Microsoft Office would create which, up until version 2007, was a completely proprietary format that had to be reverse engineered. Anybody who wants to build a program or know how to edit a PDF file can look at the .PDF file specifications which are listed with the International Standards Organization detailing every aspect of the PDF file format. No need to hack it, crack it, or otherwise reverse engineer it. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf I'm not sure what the reference is to PDF's being unhackable, and un-modifiable.
