If you want a paperless office why restrict your documents to 'paper sizes'? These are only of use top people who wish to print them - so not very paperless. Document in HTML - its free and so long as you dont get 'paperminded' about formatting people can actually see the document on screen and size the text as they wish so you dont have to re-do everything for 'accessibility'. PDF's are that old square wheel again!

  PDF's are for unchangable (or only detectable change) documentation. HTML is only for trusted people or innocuous destinations. A paperless office has to have integrity in the originals that are stored or passed. PDF serves that need. Printing a document AT TIMES unforeseen is a need everybody at every level encounters. Lawyers won't exchange Word .docs or HTML. Nothing better than PDF has appeared for shared markup, although MS is working on a substitute... naturally.
