But if you want a page in PDF, you can print it to PDF. Sure, non-computer-savvy users might not know how to do it off-the-bat, but browsers make it pretty easy.

Oh, I know that. I just meant that if your goal is for the website to be easily archivable, rather than publishing the website as PDF you could use simple HTML which wouldn't suck when printed to PDF.
