- kccqzy 7y agoPDF gives you all the tools to make sure that doesn't happen. No one prevents you from shooting yourself in the foot by writing a bad PDF that doesn't adhere to common good practices. For example it is technically possible to make a PDF with text without embedding fonts. Doing that is a bad idea. By your argument, any programming language, no much how safe it purports to be, fails because they allow you to write bugs.
- blunte 7y agoThis was about the claim that PDFs provide consistent/identical document representation on every device. Few programming languages claim to provide bug free programs, so your example is irrelevant.
