PDF is terrible way to package the documents.
It's just better than
any other practical method ;-)
So many talk about ASCII being the only "right
way", as Al can attest
to time and accuracy makes image oriented PDF's the way to go.
Finding errors in OCR'ed files is extremely time
consuming.
Those (OCRed plain text and PDF files) are not the only options.
As I remarked a minute ago, I'd far rather have a tar (or a zip, or a
directory on an FTP server) containing TIFF files than a PDF containing
the same TIFF files.
