If you are scanning texts into Acrobat, it's good practice to take the following steps before sharing them so that the file size will be smaller and the document easier to download and print: 

1. Document > OCR Text Recognition > Recognize Text Using OCR (this recognizes the text and reduces the file size a lot)

2. Document > Reduce File Size, then choose Acrobat 7.0 (this is the backwards-compatibility issue mentioned above)

3. Document > Optimized Scanned PDF, then make sure the indicator is somewhere in the middle between Smaller File and Higher Quality.

Stata is a combination of the words statistics and data.

SPSS was originally an acronym for Statistical Package of the Social Sciences.  Later it just became the name of the software. 

Statistical software packages are like Excel on steroids.While Excel is a very powerful tool, you wouldn’t use it to compute your income taxes if you had a complicated return.  You would use specialized tax software.  If you want to perform the types of statistical analysis that can be found in academic journals than software like Stata or SPSS would probably be helpful.  Analyses such as crosstabs, correlations, OLS regressions, logistic regressions, etc. can be done in Excel but are easier in Stata or SPSS.  Other types of analyses just can’t be done in Excel.  Stata and SPSS can also handle much larger data files than Excel.

Stata and SPSS also have excellent data management capabilities that facilitate combining data from different sources.In that sense, they can be thought of as low end database software with extremely strong statistical capabilities.
