If you are serious - you just can't easily make HTML for fitting A4 page;
you can't easily compose form to fill; you can't send it in RO (of course,
I know that nothing is really RO, but relatively RO); you need to some
action solver when user fill in form and tries to "apply" (PDF viewer will
just simply and user-friendly ask where to save filled form, which could be
sent back).
You can't check with what program this HTML will be tried to open/fill. Any
of this partial task could be done, but in complex - that would be just
inefficient way of misusing HTML.
So, PDF forms is great for strict data exchanging between
companies/offices/users, although not widespread (somehow, it failed).

And if you just trolling me - I'm not buying :)

P.S. Let's close this offtopic anyway.
