When DMing I rarely use a complete published adventures, but I enjoy "stealing" single encounters or just individual hazards / traps. For this I would need to have the complete print issue lying next to me during a session . Using a pdf I can simply copy paste the parts I need . The big advantage here is that I can often fit bits from more than 4 different sources onto a single sheet of A4 paper. Instead of switching between 3-8 rulebooks and some magazines I only need to reference a few printouts. And preparing these printouts doesn't eat much time, seeing as cutting/pasting from pdfs is - for me - a lot faster than typing up / copying together stuff from several printed products.

As a player I might be interested in playing a warforged swordmage using a wizard multiclass. Instead of carrying around the PHB, the
FR player's guide and the (hypothetical) print issue of the dragon with the warforged in I could print only the warforged article, the swordmage pages and the wizard pages and but them in a binder next to the char sheet.
And yet another word from our sponsors
