Indeed, I should have precise that I convert Mathematica notebook into PDF files only in the last resort: some of my colleagues and people with whom I work do not have Mathematica or MathReader and they do not have any administrative privileges to install software on their machines. (Say in corporate environment with a strong emphasis on security.) In this case, the easiest solution is to share information via software that will be installed on virtually every computer in the company.
