Post Legitimizing Print
This company makes PDFs from spreadsheets and charges over $500 per year: https://pagination.com/pricing/ This article has a lot of what I'd say: https://pagination.com/make-a-catalog/ Print Catelogs are "in style": https://hbr.org/2015/02/why-the-print-catalog-is-back-in-style (although the article is now 6 years old 😦 )
Advantages of PDFs: https://www.peernet.com/pdf-benefits-for-business/ Best point: looks the same on all devices
Opposite: why PDFs are usually bad online: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/pdf-unfit-for-human-consumption/ main reason to dislike big PDFs: hard to navigate (bad internal linking too) and big file sizes. Counter to those arguments: https://www.foxitsoftware.com/blog/dispelling-the-myths-about-using-pdf-on-your-website/ (they point to studies showing that long reads, or content they’ll probably want to print, is better in PDF).
