Anyone who has an Apple computer (running OS X) can natively save any
file as a PDF.  I have such a computer, and can created PDFs myself.
So if a group submitting documents can make their own PDFs, great.
Otherwise, I should be able to handle most other files and convert
them myself with little effort.  Don't go out and buy a PDF writer
just for the sake of this project, it won't be necessary.
