Personally and from a usability I feel pdf's belong in the office, not
on the web. As a definite download link and have a choice between
viewing it as html or a pdf download. I hate seeing pdf becoming more
popular.
i think that offering a substantial amount of information, like a manual
or book, in pdf format is a good way to provide information to users who
want it. html has the limitation of not being able to download all of
the information, especially if it's on more than one page and not
packaged to be completely downloaded in one fell swoop.
the gutenberg project offers books in text and html formats. i think
that some of the books are offered in pdf, but don't quote me on that.
the pdf format is not sinister and as web designers and developers, we
might as well get used to the fact that pdf is going to be on the web in
increasing numbers.
