PDF can be accessible.  The newer versions of the PDF standard allow a 
document to embed information about the actual text, which is used by 
the accessibility code in Adobe's PDF reader and also to allow 
reformatting documents for smaller screens.

If you want something that will print nicely on paper, PDF is a much 
better choice than HTML.
