PDF is a "presentation" file type. 

Not much editing allowed on it (you need a good PDF editor to edit these 
kind of files, not easily available for Linux), but it's perfect  for  
reading.

Any formatting has to be done *before* converting into PDF (so you can 
change font size or face inside OOo).

Reading a PDF file with 2 openned pages at time within 24'' display is a 
gratifying experience O:-)
