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:
