Linda,
With the work that we do and work I have done in past lives, I think PDF is the more preferred format for a number of the reasons Jesse mentioned. The ability to make a PDF searchable and the ease of downloading the viewers are 2 very basic but always mentioned benefits of using PDF over TIFF.

Subject: Re: tif vs pdf
Off the top of my head and in no particular order:
- Both are standards of sorts; TIFF6 and its ancillary standards have been
in place for more than 20 years, while ISO 32000 (PDF) is newer but no less
germane.
- PDF is for all intents & purposes web-native in that every browser has
free plugins, while TIFF viewers are still few & far between
- PDF supports pagination, TIFF doesn't
- PDF supports a text layer and searchability, standard TIFFs don't (though
some systems do support OCR and searching the relevant OCR layer for a
given TIFF)
