You can use SVG which gives you "100% control over everything" and still is composed/rendered using the browser. Anything you see in a PDF can be done with SVG

- yongjik 5y agoThat doesn't sound fair: PDF is ubiquitous. Organizations easily have thousands (maybe even millions) of PDF files lying around, and you can't just convert them to SVG and expect them to render faithfully.
- readonthegoapp 5y agoYou can't? They don't? Just curious. Never tried it, never thought to try it. But PDF is trash. Everybody loves their PDFs. I presume people use PDFs primarily to hide information while still keeping it strictly/ostensibly public.
- greazy 5y agoPdf is great. There's a reason why it hasn't been replaced as the go to format for digital forms and universal printing. It works well.
