If I can satisfy the official EDGAR filing requirements with either an ASCII or HTML file, or a combination of the two, why should I bother filing an optional PDF attachment?
Whether you choose to use ASCII or the more reader-friendly HTML to format your official EDGAR filing, neither of these files has the look and feel of your printed book. A PDF attachment fills this gap quite nicely since PDF formatting essentially creates a snapshot of each printed page, complete with color graphics, photographs, and charts. And best of all, with a PDF file, what you see is always what you get. Screen appearance and printer output doesn’t vary with the user’s browser or printer configuration, as is the case with HTML files.
