PDF isn't any better than an image...in fact it might be worse.  I for one
haven't had much luck with browser plugins that imbed PDF inside a
browser's HTML screen, so you have to launch a helper application.  It does
have the advantage, though, that the PDF file can be text-based, so it
could be easily read.  A text-based PDF file should be small in size, too. 
No help for text-only browsers though.
