As far as I know, PDF is a proprietary format and requires proprietary 
software, unless you have the Adobe engine you cannot create a PDF file.

HTML at least has the virtue of having multiple vendors supporting both
the generation and rendering of it.  (It has numerous flaws, but I don't
know that they are relevant to this entire thread.)
