PDF and HTML each have advantages and disadvantages relative to each other. The biggest advantage of HTML, I think, is its greater support for document structure and viewing. The biggest advantage of having a single PDF document is the ability to search. I think Apple’s abandonment of PDF documentation of AppleScript and other technologies is a huge mistake. I sorely miss the ability to search a PDF document for terms I think are related to topics I am looking for when I can’t quite remember the topic and wouldn’t be able to find where it is if I did. Likewise for having an index with actual page numbers in it, preferably set up as links — can’t do that in HTML. It’s a serious problem and disappointment for me.
