1)
While we have used pdf files, you should be aware that Adobe Acrobat is the definitive pdf creation tool and Acrobat X will be released shortly. For your future careers I suggest you find out more about it's features. It is particularly useful for signing off digital documentation e.g. Ad copy etc.

2)
As regards collaboration and working in groups, you should take a further look at Google Docs.

3)
With multiple authors, version control becomes very important. You should familiarize yourself with Word's Track Changes feature. Use it as follows.

Create a Word document, Save it. Before sending it to a reviewer, turn on Track Changes. The reviewer should make corrections by actually editing the text and/or adding comments. The display will be unusual at first because by default there will be additional markup shown on screen. You can change the View to remove this markup. When the reviewer is finished he/she saves the document and sends it back to the author. Changes are tracked. The author opens it up and can review the changes one at a time and accept or reject the change(s). You can also just accept all. This can be done with multiple reviewers together.
