Are you insane?  The excrutiatingly slow and bloated Microsoft Word
screams compared to Acrobat.  I get so antsy waiting for Acrobat to update
a fricken PDF page on the screen that my head wants to explode. 
I suspect it's like PostScript, or metafiles, or executable code
in general: it all depends on what's generating the PDF file.
Some PDFs are apparently just bitmaps, others a mix of text and
bitmap, others just text.  The existence of a PDF print driver
doesn't mean what goes through it will be the best.
