Read again carefully this

The problem with pdf on screen is that the page layout is FIXED like it is  
on paper. That is why it prints more consistantly , that page layout is  
cast in stone. If you have a smaller screen or need larger text you have  
to scroll _horizontally_ to read the document. To all intents and purposes  
it becomes unreadable.

Under the same conditions html reformats to fit.
