This modified file looks great, scales great, and loads quickly when transferred to the Reader. Why would I then want to go the next step and use Word to create it as a PDF file?

The only real reason would be if the Word file has pictures in it; the Reader doesn't display pictures in RTF files, but does in PDFs.
You're right, though - straight text files there's no reason to bother with PDFs; RTF works great.
