If the fanzine is something I am interested in and it's only available in PDF, I would not bother with it and I would tell others not to bother with it. But if it was in a format I could easily convert or use as is, I'd read it. And if I liked it, I'd recommend it to others with an interest in the subject matter. But in PDF, no matter the subject, I'd stay away. So PDF is going to cause more hassle then it is worth. And besides, if the files are hosted on the author's site, then the downloads will be the original files and I see no issues there are all. But PDF is going to be an issue we don't need. So please tell this person to stay far far away from PDF.
