CallSheetDownloadDistribution comparison
A PDF template creates a file. CallSheet creates a current route to the plan.
A PDF is still a useful production artifact. The limitation is not the format; it is what happens after the file leaves the producer's device. CallSheet keeps the PDF while adding a private recipient page that can move forward with the production.

The production decision
The question is not PDF or no PDF.
The better question is whether the PDF should be the only source a recipient can reopen. CallSheet preserves the familiar file and pairs it with a stable private link to the current published call sheet.
Working sequence
From plan to current crew handoff.
Keep the useful artifact
Use the PDF for print, download, and production records.
Add a current source
Send the PDF inside a private recipient page instead of as the only entry point.
Control revisions
Review affected recipients and republish the current document.
Truth boundary
What CallSheet does—and what stays a production judgment.
CallSheet does not make an already-downloaded PDF update itself. Recipients return to the private page for the current published file.
