I have seen often pdf being printed - apparently people like to read on
paper. On the other hand, I believe we should discourage this, bot for
environmental and for practical purposes (a printed manual becomes
obsolete soon, and people keep on reading old stuff instead of upgrading
to the new version).
So I'd be a mild +1 for removing the pdfs.
Cheers.
