Why does PDF conversion lose so much information about formatting?
When storing digital assets, the key point is to store as much information as possible. The PDF format stores very little information and is not editable. As a general rule, be sure to have your digital assets in a structured format (XML, XHTML, Microsoft Word, raw text, etc.). This will allow you to reuse them in different types of electronic publications.
