If I build and sell a software system that renders documents in pdf format

format itself protected in any way?

AFAIK adobe owns the copyright but gives everybody copyright permission to generate and distribute documents confirming to pdf; vendors of software producing pdf (apache/fop) probably have to include a copyright notice, but they don't need a licence or written agreement.
