What's really bad is when you are invited to open a PDF that of course

I don't like them (grrrrrrrrrrrrr) even when they can be read.
PDFs on the web are irritating because you have no random access to
their information until you download the whole damn thing. When possible
they should be converted to (X)HTML, with an optional PDF download for
those who want it.
It is a way for clients to get stuff on the web cheaply, or so
they suppose, bypassing the website author/maintainer! It is hard
to know if it is really cheaper for them but presumably many find
it easier to make pdfs than html files.
