This subject comes up quite often in the Autodesk Discussion Groups about which format is better, easier, smarter as it applies to any business and it's processes.

Both formats have many pros & cons.

Both formats have viewing & composing tools. Some free (typically downloadable), some at minimal costs... which is truly better is the debate?
