That's perfect, if it works for you. But that makes PDF a sub-optimal format for distribution, since different people have different tastes and devices and needs. And some people may want to change format on the fly (enlarging font size at dusk, turning from portrait to landscape, reading on different devices...).

I do like well-made PDFs, but I understand it's better to distribute reflowable formats.
