Not just because it is so widely used, but because you have to ask the client several questions. How will they use the PDF? Web means keep it small. Put it on a CD means it can be bigger, to allow quality printing. More important, what security do they want? I have had press releases that do not allow me to copy text from them! Usually the ability to print and copy, but not to edit, is fine. I would add PDF to discussion of the delivery format.
