PDF has a couple of things to recommend it as a way to address some 
specific needs.  But one of its drawbacks is that the reader is not 
automatically included with the OS -- users must download and install it.  
That could be enough to make it inappropriate for a "community newsletter" 
because it sets a computer literacy requirement which some of your audience 
may not meet.
  Do the benefits of PDF outweigh this in achieving your goal?
