Yeah, Scribd is YC funded. I always figured HN automatically scribd-ed PDFs, but I guess admins might do it manually (though I'd guess there'd have to be something special anyway, since normally the whole title links to the story link). I think the rationale is that some people don't like PDFs. They don't want to download something when they're just going to skim it now and probably never look at it again. I don't really get it, but I guess it would make sense for very long PDFs so that you don't have to wait to download the whole thing when you might take one look at it and decide you don't care.
