> Too much scrolling
macOS's Preview.app has great support for tables of content, which it displays in a sidebar by default, permitting you to jump around easily. And of course LaTeX and similar TeX-based frameworks do a great job of generating a proper ToC automatically. So I actually find PDFs better than web pages (even ones with floating ToC panels) or any other format in terms of ease and consistency of navigation.
Except... the PDF viewers in browsers don't support ToC display and navigation. And typical MS Word PDF exports don't seem to generate ToCs, judging by the fact that I rarely (if ever) see a Word-generated PDF with a ToC--at least one that Preview.app displays. If Chrome, Mozilla, and Microsoft put in just a little effort here then the world of document sharing could be immensely improved.
