The real scandal, of course, is not PDF, but they way PDF is abused. That, and the compensation paid to so many of these so-called usability experts! We see this problem all the time with respect to accessible PDF. See my blog post on "Blind Spots" for more of the same. What's amazing to me is that the CUSTOMERS don't realize that their sites are chock-full of PDFs... and yet they still hire these usability people who have nothing to say on the subject other than to shrug. Great post, Kurt!
