Steven,
The pdfs are selected pages from printed brochures that elaborate on the web
site information. They are not a substitute for the html, rather a
"lagniappe."
I'm inferring from your "Er, okay" that operator manuals as pdfs aren't a
good idea? Is there a better format for printed material? Sorry if this is
a dumb question...

BTW, don't put PDF files on web sites, unless there is no other way to
convey the info. Info in a web site should be HTML. At least, have an HTML
version of what's in the PDF files.
Operator manual in PDF? Er, okay. Product literature in PDF? Why? Seems like
a really bad idea, but what is your reasoning? I hope it's not: "saves time
to just dump the data into a PDF, and let the customers look at that".
