these are valid points. But there are others:
- HTML documents often consist of many files.
- HTML documents are open to everyone who cares.
- HTML documents can be changed easily.
- HTML documents look more or less as the author has intended.
- Acrobat documents look (nearly) exactly as the author intended.
- Acrobat documents can be protected against changes.
- Acrobat documents consist of a single (or a few) files.
