I am considering buying Servus Slab from MyFonts for use in a newspaper with a "Desktop License", but since we have a website, we would like to upload the finished PDFs online for viewing. However, in skimming the EULA, it seems like neither the Web license nor the Desktop license allow us to do this.

Desktop:

You may use the licensed fonts to create EPS files or other scalable
drawings provided that such files are only used by the household or
company licensing the font.

Web:

The Licensed Web Fonts may be used in a Website where visitors produce
Styled Content by directly or indirectly selecting a Licensed Web Font
and entering or editing content using that Licensed Web Font, if and
only if the Website does not enable or facilitate the Styled Content
being used outside the Website. Examples of using Styled Content
outside of a Website include but are not limited to producing
merchandise, PDF documents, image files, or personalized physical
objects using the Styled Content.

It seems awfully restrictive that neither permit this, so I'm wondering if I'm misconstruing the information in any way?

I think you are misconstruing the licence.

The Licensed Web Fonts may be used in a Website where visitors produce Styled Content...

Your website visitors aren't producing your PDFs. Therefore that exclusion does not apply.

PDFs embed fonts without any direct means to extract the fonts. Fonts within a PDF are not web fonts. Web fonts are live fonts displayed in the HTML. This is much different than an embedded font within a PDF.

In my experience, if the font license permits embedding the font within a PDF, then that PDF can be displayed, distributed and used in any manner (because the font can not be extracted from the PDF for reuse.)

So, I would say, if the font is embedded in the PDF, you can place that PDF on a web server without infringing on licenses.

Fonts with restrictions on PDF display/use will traditionally not allow embedding within the PDF itself.
