You would prefer to use postscript????? Dude, those things are fuckin' huge compared to their pdf counterpart!

PDFs rock. They're small and most importaintly compatable with everything. You see, the greatness of the PDF is that you can publish a PDF and give it to anyone anywhere and it will look exactly as you intended it to. Ever tried giving someone with M$ Works an M$ Word document? It's a text formatting nightmare. Even html cannot be 100% reproduced using different webbrowsers. Actually, the most recent version of OpenOffice supports outputting directly to PDF.
