Interesting about PDFs. I think they still have some uses though, like scanned documents (like court records), downloadable books... I know some software with invoicing for say hosting might offer a downloadable version created with some script, but just spiting out a web page is probably easier in that case, and still printable. However I know some PDFs don't even let you select text, they just scan in something it seems. I noticed that even for some government sites, like some city had their ordinances in PDFs that looked like they were typed up on a computer or type writer, signed by someone, scanned in and re-uploaded. Selectable text not only useful for blind people, but searching the page or copying/pasting parts of it for research, a bit of a SEO boost too probably as not sure if robots try to parse text in images even though it's probably very possible with machine learning. I know though there's been lawsuits that government websites have to be accessible but it seems like many cities and even some higher levels sites aren't taking this seriously. Not sure if they are just unaware, under budget or maybe just older sites but if they rebuilt a more modern one it'd be better. I remember reading somewhere on HN once that some city but I forget which one but they just deleted their website and replaced it with a plain text web page since people complained, so now if you need anything you got to go city hall. So basically negates having a website in the first place.
