Why you have problems with PDFs I have no idea. I use KPDF and read PDF files 
every day for school without any issue.

On to the real task at hand though. If we continue with out current setup and 
the way we are doing the latest docs, we will get more bug reports that we 
can't fix than we have ever had before. Every link to another document will 
be broken on the website. The only way to fix that doing documentation the 
way we are now, is to provide it in a PDF file.

This is just an option we have to look at, not a solution as of yet. I 
personally do not like the current documentation layout for this reason 
mostly, but it is what we have to look forward to with Topic Based Help.

help.ubuntu.com is really for people who haven't installed the OS yet. If they 
have the OS installed, then they have the documentation installed.
