Hilarious those journalists
"I attempted to transform my Word draft of this blog post into a PDF. I confess that I did fumble a bit at first (it’s been a while), but I eventually managed to get the job done. According to my stopwatch, the full ordeal took me 42 seconds."
When the real problem ws turning a PDF into Word.

- ScottBurson 9y agoAnd since PDF is encapsulated PostScript, and PostScript is a Turing-complete language, this problem is actually uncomputable in general! I guess it can be done well enough in practice by pattern-matching — if the document came from Word originally, it's probably possible to reverse the process — but that is one converter I would certainly not want to have to write!
