So one of the common uses for pdf is filling in digital forms, typically published by your government. I didnt even see this addressed in the gigantic rant by author.

Instead they complained about Actobat Reader for DOS is slow and other random anecdotial evidence, none which imo supports his claim that pdf is good for nothing.

What's the benefit of PDF forms over HTML forms? Other than being able to share the "digital" and dead-tree designs, which may be an advantage for someone, but not for the person filling it in.

The benefit is you can print the pdf form and fill in with paper (such as handing out the printed doc at the reception), or you can fill in on your computer and print the result, preserving page layout.

Also, you may need a signature on the document which you would do by hand, while filling out the other fields sith keyboard.
