Completely personal opinion here: I love PDF for saving web pages. They preserve the formatting, don't include javascript, and can be viewed across most OSes and browsers.

But pdf does a terrible job of preserving formatting. In most cases it breaks a site up into pages based on paper size without regard to content. Many elements do not render correctly or use a print media tag and forget formatting. Finally, like most PDFs the result odd frozen into a print based size which makes subsequent viewing clumsy.
