TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
o PDF provides better copyright protection (is not writeable by user)
o PDF has a well-developed set of support tools
o PDF displays exactly as a hard copy, so is easier for a TW to learn.
o PDF has a sexier page appearance than HTML.
o It's easier to create a single PDF file representing the entire doc.
Please note that I am actually an HTML advocate. So there's another list
supporting HTML over PDF. I prefer the HTML advantages, but understand
what PDF provides.
