I generally advise people to send me PDFs rather than editable documents unless there's a real need for me to edit them. That way there's no risk anyone will get locked-in to anything :-)
If I *do* need to be able to edit I request Hybrid PDF files, which are PDFs with the original ODF source embedded. They are easy to make with LibreOffice and I've created a tutorial here: http://webmink.com/2012/05/07/making-hybrid-pdfs/ S.
