PDF is fine if you are using a laptop/desktop/tablet. But it doesn’t fit well into phone screens. Usually I have to turn my phone horizontally and then zoom in little bit. And when I reach the end of the page I have trobles turning it. And sometimes page turning messes up my perfect zoom fit etc. Responsive PDF is what I need...
- shanhaiguan 7y agoThat’s not a PDF issue though: it’s just an issue of most content being the same dimensions as real world paper sizes. No idea how responsive PDF would work but I agree that would be cool.
- colejohnson66 7y agoPeople in these comments keep mentioning a responsive PDF, but PDF is supposed to be a presentation format. Wouldn’t HTML and CSS serve the purpose fine?
- akvadrako 7y agoYou can't represent vector graphics, complex math, or anything non-standard in HTML+CSS. Even if you could, you couldn't rely on the user seeing it correctly.
- colejohnson66 7y agoAren’t SVG and MathML standard in HTML5?
- akvadrako 7y agoInteresting; I'm not sure if it counts as "in HTML5" but I see they are referenced in the spec. It's still not something you can rely upon.
