I've never been a big fan of PDFs, if only for Adobe's 'read for free, create for $$$' strategy (which was cut off at the knees with the advent of tools like pdfcreator et al), the 'bloatiness' of the tools and plugins, the lame encryption/protection scheme.

Plus I think the reflowed documents usually look pretty damn awful with regards to line and paragraph breaks. I'll take a modern, open format any time.
