Right.

% PDFs using PHP.
Well, be careful of that... Usually one expects a "printable version" or
a "printer-friendly format" to be stripped of eye candy that would be
useless on paper -- but to still work within the web browser. There are
many reasons PDFs won't work for people in search of a printable format;
not having (or being allowed to install) AcroRead is one, and my personal
favorite is that "printer-friendly" pages are also "me-friendly" pages
when I surf with lynx (I rarely drag out a GUI browser, and rarely to the
point of "almost never" allow Javascript).
