Users seldom or never printed it.

I was told that we needed it (a computer requirements document) in PDF for legal reasons. I pushed back and legal confirmed that they did, in fact, need it to be in PDF format.

I suspect it had something to do with accreditation, accessibility, and/or student aid policy compliance, since this was a school.

But legal may also have found the relative transience of HTML documents to be a liability if a student threatened suit based on frequently changing policies, because I updated the requirements document twice yearly. PDFs made versioning very straightforward from a legal perspective, because the filename and download link always "needed" to be different between versions, without requiring dev work.
