Comng out of left field here, While there is no 'standard' langauge for
word-processed documents, many people use and prefer rtf (rich text) as the
transport medium. I am assuming you want pdf files so that your 'customers'
can download whatever-it-is, and conveniently use acrobat reader to read
them. Adobe give away the reader, and charge for the creation tool, eg to
make pdf files in the first place.
If it were me, I would opt for rich text as the base reference (eg save as
rich text). Look on google for a rich text to pdf converter.
