In article , says...

Postscript is about as open and standard a format as you will find.

It was never intended for online document distribution, though.
Postscript is for (obsolete) printers, and .PS files are an (obsolete)
hack.

..PDF is designed from the ground up for online viewing, and it's less
likely to require users to compile their own viewer application.

Actually, neither .PS or .PDF is as nice as DjVu for onscreen viewing,
but of the three, .PDF has by far the best shot at long-term archive
survival.
