I suppose there is a work-around. I work with a true Guru on occasion--he's going to build a Website for me. I asked about supplying my book in Adobe or Word, and he said Word is easier for him to work with. I expressed my concern that my book could be so easily altered if it was in Word, and he told me that there are programs for getting around Adobe's non-ability to be changed, so anyone using such a program could change it anyway.
