You can solve them sometimes, but they involve large amounts of waste and time. And you never know how to have done them better. That's my understanding. My starting solution to the PDF is to give the user both OCR and text and let them chose. I don't think it's Wicked, but I do think no one is solving it properly along clearly viable lines. I also think there is a clear solution to force companies to convert PDF's to text properly. So even at a higher level I don't think it's Wicked, just the culture is not correct.
