Why do I need to save my file as PDF?

All documents saved in Microsoft Office 2010 version may pose difficulty for students not being able to open these files as not all of them may have the new version of Microsoft office. 

Saving the file as pdf usually makes the file size smaller and it protects the documents so that students can't make changes to the files.
