Some thoughts

PDF documents are probably one of the last place we want to see being dominated by ads. I mean, the reason why some web content chooses to go PDF version is because there’s only content and no ads. And I’m sure I wouldn’t be much of a fan to have ads on PDF files. How about you?

@syuxx Exactly, one of the main reason why one goes PDF instead of reading online is because PDF docs are portable. Any CPC or CPM ads should not be efficiently good.
