PDF's intractability to modification is a distinct advantage for a delivery vehicle - there's no chance of someone accidentally changing an equation and then passing the paper on to someone else.
But if you are going to put everything together in a proceeding you do not want to have them as PDF. You want to have the papers as LaTeX-file using the same style file. You can put together PDF but you have to do tricks to fix the page number and you will probably not get a consistent look.
