PDF is for printing

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Check out this great article about why PDFs should typically be used only on documents that are meant to be printed – not on “normal” pages. I find many sites have PDF files all over the place, for things that have no business being in that format.

I had intended to write a long article about this, but it’s summed up so well on Web Pages That Suck, that there’s no sense in me re-writing it.
