The word that came to my mind is "sophistical"--I was far from
entertained by it. Maybe "crudely duplicitous" would fit as well.

PDF is not an editable format, after all (well... it *is*, but not
easily). But it should allow cut-and-paste. Maybe Word adds the nasty
permission restrictions that PDF enables. FWIW, some readers other
than Adobe Acrobat are sensible enough to ignore those
permissions--e.g. GhostView (not sure about OSX's Preview in this
regard).
