Or people with a slow computer or a dial-up connection. There is a reason  
the web is made up largely of HTML files and not PDF files. HTML is much  
better suited for online documents.

Don't get me wrong. I love using PDFs. They are amazing for print  
documents. You just hand the PDF to your Local Friendly Printer Guy and it  
just works. But it'll be a long, cold day in Hell before I replace HTML  
with PDFs. :o)
