It's not true that PDFs are only for print. In fact, MacOS display technologies are based (at least the first iterations) on PDF. PDF for screen can work very well, the problem is that the industry never standardized this aspect of the technology. The result is that viewing PDF nowadays is far from optimal. I truly believe that PDF could have been a much better technology than HTML for modern websites. Instead HTML, which started as a semantic technology, was shoehorned into what we have today.
