In some cases of online databases. Definitely not others. Some provide only HTML versions, not PDFs, and some even neglect to include the print version's pagination.
Also, PDFs and print may differ, even as two printings of the same book may differ.
It may be convenient, in fact it usually is, when citing a repository version of an article also published in a journal, to indicate in the bibliography that it exists in both forms, since the journal is the "official" form. And the convenient way to do that? MLA style.
