This statement suggests that a JPEG would always be significantly smaller than the corresponding PDF - making the latter "a bad format for sending over the Web". I am afraid this is not totally true.

I've just made a screen shot, PDF = 180 KB. Give it to Preview, save as JPEG with best quality (so that I don't loose any information) -> 248 KB. (Then if I lower the JPEG's quality I get much smaller files).

More surprising yet: I stuff both files, both of them keep the exact same size (180 and 248).
