CSS is a wonderful solution.
Being prone to idealism, I like to believe (admittedly in the absence of
all current evidence) that we're only a few years away from the nearly
complete abandonment of PDF as a popular format for everything except
perhaps the subset of documents that truly must remain in form that
emulates yesteryear's printed page, an ever-shrinking use-case.
For everything else, content in HTML with formatting in CSS is a
wonderful option.
Better still might be for the world to adopt LiveCode stacks as a
universal document format. For more programmer-accessible and
feature-rich than PDF, and fully open source.
