PDF for Lawyers

Conniving politicians use PDFs to deceive us!

According to this news source, Rush Limbaugh recently accused the Democrats of "reformatting" the economic stimulus bill into a PDF, thereby thwarting the his effort to search the bill's text.  

I seriously doubt that the bill was published in non-searchable PDF format, but even it it had been the he could have easily solved his problem by making the bill searchable. I know he'd rather take the opportunity to blast democrats than to solve a small technical hurdle.  Just for the record: I'm not offended by Limbaugh's accusations about the Democrats, but I'd prefer he not disparage the good name of PDFs in the process.
