Honestly, this guy blames technology for bad
authoring. So I blame him for bad information.

What's fair is fair.

Summary:
Users get lost inside PDF files, which are typically
big, linear text blobs that are optimized for print
and unpleasant to read and navigate online. PDF is
good for printing, but that's it. Don't use it for
online presentation.
