Makes a lot of sense - and hurray for making PDFs easier to use from a developer perspective (to generate and control workflow) and customer perspective (less loadtime, version updating, etc)!

You still produce the PDF with all of your formatting and margin controls, but you gain the benefit of allowing people to see the document within the normal layout of the page. Allowing downloading of the document (for filling in forms, etc) as well as integrated printing support is something that is possible and could be added. Embedit.in is not removing functionality, only adding it by allowing people to avoid the download of the full PDF and the time required to launch Acrobat or a similar PDF reader. Hope that helps shine some light on our thoughts around the web document! Annie,

My experience with printing from a web page is not so great - weird formatting issues, sizing issues, etc. Does using embedit.in give you the margin/formatting controls of using a PDF?
