If you are talking about overall aesthetics including fonts, PDF may be a good way to view documents. However, for someone like me, I don't care AT ALL about fonts but I found the greyish background extremely annoying. So PDF documents with 'decreased constrast' due to greyish background do not qualify as 'looking as good as' to me.
You seem to be willing to trade off fonts & navigation with decreased contrast, but I don't. I think that is why we don't agree on 'looking good'.  |
Again, I ask, did you look at the samples?
The problem with the grey background is not so much the lowering of the contrast as it wreaks havoc on the anti-aliasing of the fonts. This is why my requirement for fonts with heavier weights, and more importantly fonts with nearly equal strokes. pdflrf is a useful program but it suffers from many problems which are inherent with the approach. The most significant of which is the increased loss of edge sharpness on the characters. Try rendering my sample pages with it and observe what happens to the verse numbers, particularly on pages 3 & 4.
BTW if you are happy, I have no problem with that.
