As a web professional and an avocate for inclusive design (web accessibility) I have often wondered why organisations are so obsessed with using PDF documents on web sites as opposed to HTML based documents.
After all PDF documents don’t do accessibility as well as HTML pages do.
Given the ease of use of most modern CMS you would consider web page creation and editing would be as easy as authoring a word document.
Now I have a good idea why my clients use PDFs over HTML, especially government agencies, but I don’t have the community wide picture.
