Well, PDF requires little user knowledge when
implemented correctly. Heck, I just got my company's
entire QA department up and running with PDF content
reviews using notes and highlighting in the PDFs, and
generating summary reports from them. Most have never
used Acrobat (not Reader) before, and total training
time was 5 minutes.

Unless you're talking correct implementation
knowledge, in which case, you have to lump print into
that list. Print is an exceptionally demanding and
tricky medium to publish to. There is no margin for error.
