I've seriously considered doing websites in pdf too but still have to run into a situation dramatic enough for it to be worth it. Now that I think about it again "installing" a pdf on a pc could cover a lot of app like functionality. Most important is to make it as convenient as possible to remember your business exists and interact with it.
