Ari, I don't mind working with PDFs. For the most part, the ones I've received from the OU have had good structure, with headings well used, and good alternatives for images etc. From time to time I do export something, but it's not often. I use Acrobat Pro, so can choose between Word or plain text. Given good structure though, I find the web style navigation of a PDF easier for moving around.

Hi Jackie and Leoni, On the subject of studying with pdfs, as I get a lot of them, I'm curious, do you guys prefer converting them to txt or word, and what do you use to do this? I use Acrobat reader to convert them to txt, but then it messes up tables and stuff, but I hate trying to work with a pdf in Acrobat itself as well. Thanks Denis for the info, I've told my friend, she must now just contact the OU.
