Yes, but forbid? Why? If somebody wants one or two slides in PDF why not make it an option? Be draconian in the deadline of when you need a PDF (since it has to be stitched into a single slide deck on a single laptop) but otherwise I see no danger. It does place more burden on the organizer of the session (as last ApacheCON has demonstrated). Thanks, Roman.
