In short, PDF is old technology. Time to move on.

PDFs usually take longer to download than HTML pages. Their format is fixed and inflexible.

The only real use for a PDF is to print it and read it later (something I never do). Even if this is your preference, it can be achieved with CSS which can also give you a dynamic screen layout that changes to suit the browser size you like to use.
