No, PDF is an open standard. It's driven mostly by Adobe, but standardized 
internationally by ISO. Several PDF versions and subsets are already ISO 
standards. The latest PDF specification is undergoing standardization as 
ISO 32000.

See this link for free, public specifications:

It's quite an insult to compare this to Microsoft's garbage.
