Pdf needs to have a « v2 » format that simply drops backward compatibility for everything that predates utf8, then create open converters tools to this new format.
Only support one type of font embedding, with a single encoding (make everything utf-8) : it won’t change anything noticeable regarding the file size, and will greatly help at least parsing text.
I’ve only dealt with text parsing, so that’s the only easy improvement i see, but i’m pretty sure following the same logic on graphic content should be possible.
