@nrennie @jumpingrivers Why you don't like PDFs?

@Francehelder

I don't really like PDFs for a few reasons:

  • Accessibility (HTML documents are much easier to make accessible)
  • Fixed layout is good for printing not usually mobile/web friendly (where we read most things)
  • Can't include interactive elements
  • Information is usually harder to find

Some nice discussion here: https://gds.blog.gov.uk/2018/07/16/why-gov-uk-content-should-be-published-in-html-and-not-pdf/
