The advantage of PDF is that it preserves the exact appearance of the

deliberately so). Also, PDF readers of some kind are available for
just about every conceivable platform, and they all work extremely
well.
I used to be a proponent of PDF usage in the IETF, but I have been
informed that there are no PDF readers for the blind. This makes it
less then optimal as a universal vehicle.
Of course I may be wrong - did not do the research myself, or
technology may change. Though I think the pictorial nature of PDF is
a barrier.
