It's going the other way. :-( PDFs are real web-clutter, IMNSO. Clunky as hell, and there's not a lot you can do with them: trying to move anything out of a PDF into something more manipulatable is a ludicrous hassle. So the major reason for having stuff digitised falls away - info in PDFs is not easily reproducible, except in all its original clunkiness. And not many full-text search programs can search them, so the other main reason for having stuff digitised falls away. The third reason remains, sort of - you can at least communicate with them, send them as-is to other people, but they're obese. Another disadvantage is that once you've received them there's no indication of where they came from - seldom a url. So what can you do with them? Print them out and read them, and that's why their use is spreading. Seems most people, especially biz people and bureaucrats, are only dimly aware of the three advantages of digitized text, if at all. They keep their records printed out in a filing cabinet, and trash the original electronic file (if they're that neat). PDFs eat trees, and hold back business efficiency.
