For commercial users, PDF makes sense because they are not as easily
tampered with as other formats. OpenOffice makes creating them easy (and
free) while Adobe supplies a free reader.

They're completely over-used, IMHO, by folks too lazy to create an HTML
page. PDF's are designed for mythical beings who possess with two,
vertically oriented, specially oversized monitors running side by side
from
a dual head graphics card. I always feel like I am wearing blinders when I
read them because if I increase the magnification to the level where I can
read the print, then I have to pan and scan like a madman. If I truly
NEED
the information, I'll lower my security settings and DL one (and usually
print it out!).

I have to agree with Dave here.

PDF is pretty much the standard for distribution of technical information.
I've got gazillions of PDF documents stored locally, and can conveniently
access them whenever necessary. No fancy monitor or graphic card is
required. I was using them years ago with a crappy graphics card and a 14"
monitor. A quick scan through my semiconductor "bookshelf" shows PDF
documents dating back to 1996. I do miss the old databooks though.
