With more pathology reports being viewed by clinicians and consumers via messaging from pathology providers, portals and viewing of health records, PDF provides the confidence to the pathology providers that their report will be viewed in it's entirety and will not be viewed out of context. Pathology providers are very concerned that only a small component of their report will be made viewable and hence the result may be taken out of context of the whole report. PDF retains the content and layout the pathology provider intended.
