Pros and Cons of PDFs in ebooks
PDF support means we can make ebooks from older backlist titles, but it may not always be the best approach.
Pros of working with PDF
Ability to use output from other layout applications such as QuarkXPress. Simpler preparation especially for older backlist books, no need to find all links or to activate fonts, simple tools to quickly build pages, embedded text for search is available. Hyperlinks can be retrieved with CircularFLO tools.
Cons of working with PDF
Accessibility will be reduced. Text will not be live and selectable, it is harder to add animation and other interactions to parts of the page.
