Yes pdftex generates pdf which as of now is the most modern
way of viewing TeX output.

Someone compared html and pdf earlier in the thread. Please
don't. pdf is much superior to html then it comes to viewing 
manuals for example.

As someone else sad acroread for example supports
a very nice searching method.

Personally i think presenting something which is information-heavy 
as html is an bad idea.
