They are after all calendars. Do they NEED to be interactive? Do they NEED to adjust to the users environment? (if the user just wants to print it out, no). Perhaps the clients feel that once the event calendar is ready for publish, it no longer needs updating. You are correct, nobody reads PDFs on screen, they print them. And it isn't a waste of paper if that's what you clients' customers want. I know that I would look at an event calendar printed out and taped to my fridge more often than I would go online to look at it. All I'm saying is that you need to understand your clients' reasons for suggesting PDF. It may be what the customers have asked for. Perhaps they think PDF is the solution when something else would be better and then its your job to convince them of that. All you told us were that they were event calenders and for us to give you reasons why PDF is bad. The problem with that is that PDF isn't bad (does exactly what its meant to) and could very easily be the perfect solution, but I don't know, I wasn't given enough information. I say give them their PDFs and charge them extra. Shoot, I hope they want to update the PDF later because then you can charge them again! Loading...
