The larger point I was making is that the great advantage of digital information is that it can be post-processed far more easily than printed information. This post processing is done by computers. Computers dont post-process PDF well. The ability to post process - recombine, manipulate, search, display in different contexts, etc. is going to be far more important the the ability to control the exact placement of text.
