Preferred Format for Obit Uploads to an Ancestry Family Tree??

Would be interested in Pros and Cons for formating uploads of scanned newspaper obits to my family tree on Ancestry.

I have two choices:
1. Scan as a JPG and upload as a photo.
2. Scan as a PDF and upload as a story document.

Hopefully, both would be searchable. I feel the PDF would be more useful/flexible to the recepient but I have noticed that the new Ancestry Home Page has broken links when displaying recently added content that are PDF files.

I have the same question. Additionally, if I find an obit on the web, what is the best soln. I have been coping and pasting the text as a COMMENT, but then I lose all the formating. Should I instead copy and paste into a Word or rtf doc and attach as a story document? Thanks.
