There might be one difference: The creator of the derivative work might be licensing his work differently than the original work, maybe even saying "no republishing". Unless the PDF is a mere automated translation to PDF, when the derivative would not be granted a new copyright on the translation because the deriver has added nothing worthy of copyright. Compilations are usually granted copyright. P.S. This thread was hard to read. Some people (not you, Nik) really should study how to quote more clearly, or be more careful.
