Feb 22, 2013 at 17:52 comment added DA01 Perhaps one solution would be to have web-centric summary content written for each PDF. That way there's web content, but in a succinct/digestible form with a PDF available for those that want to peruse the full content.

Feb 22, 2013 at 12:17 comment added finiteattention You've kind of nailed it there :) In the field we're in, the extent to which a web presence for this content requires html at all, or should be PDF download only, is an ongoing debate. In general, clients want at least some html presence, in part so they have a bigger digital footprint, but in part because I think they just find a wholly PDF download-focused site rather unsatisfying. Re 'copywriting', clients write and supply all copy; we design and publish in print and for the web.
