I'm obviously not the target audience, so I can't understand the use case, PDF seems to be such a useless format for anything other than viewing and perhaps annotating (which it does great at).

Can you explain why anyone would use this assuming I already have a way to export to PDF? zip to PDF sounds strange.

PDF is just a common format used when sharing documents for viewing, like you said. No deeper meaning to it than that.

This tool can convert many file types to PDF without the need for acrobat, office, etc. Basically, this just costs $20 and those cost $200. It's just a small, one trick pony piece of software.
