Thats the way i do too. A huge pdf is often not very helpful. In my 
personal case i programm often in a train, using my laptop. Searching a 
PDF with more than 1.000 pages really hits my battery. With html-files i 
could preselect the items to search.
Also it's possible to import the html-files in a postgres-db and using 
fulltext-search. ;)

Greetings,
