What is your problem with PDF?

Almost any browser other than lynx has a buitin pdf reader, and pdf can be created by just about anything.

Finally pdf is a format that allow you to ensure that no matter where it is printed, it is exactly as you wanted it to be.

The problem with pdf is that everything about it is clunky and slow. I didn't decide to groan whenever I see that something I want is trapped inside a pdf; years of annoyance just built that up as a reflex.

Edit: actually, there is an exception, and you mentioned it: printing a pdf, once you have it open, is almost always a good experience. Too bad it's the thing I want to do least often.
