I wish you would explain your position a little
better ... with the exception of printing and
searching, just about everything you mentioned
is (IMO) -worse- in PDF than in HTML. And the
searching issue can be fixed by supplementing
the standard browser with scripts, plugins and/or
applets. The only thing that I can see that PDF
is superior for is printing. Please go into a
little more detail about the other drawbacks you
percieve in HTML.
