I am working to make the case to some of my company's IT professionals that the decision to go with PDF delivery for certain reports rather than HTML is a bad one. I've read all of Nielson's articles on PDFs as well as rebuttals by various individuals (where they only seem to point out that PDFs can do more than just be for print; include hyperlinks, interactive forms, etc. but not that they do these things well enough to remove usability concerns). Can anyone else point me to statistics or reports on PDF vs. HTML and PDF for onscreen reading. I myself believe very strongly that PDFs have a certain place on the web and that mimicking web functionality is not it, but the more ammo I go in with the better.
