No! Please! Not PDF! 
PDF is useful for one thing only: convincing stuffy
academics that your online academic article is "the
real thing". And corporate boards of directors. Other
than that it sucks. Why?
1) I have to launch acrobat. 10-30 seconds downtime
(ugh)
2) I cannot copy and paste - so say you have code I
would like to reuse/edit, well ok I CAN coerce a PDF
file - do you want to? I sure don't.

Other than this I see honestly no use for PDF. Oh wait,
it may have a proprietary use since you can password
encrypt it. Lovely. Proprietary data. Oh wait,
information is only useful when shared, cannot be
consumed and actually increases in value with
diffusion.
