Definitely in the tabletop RPG community, PDFs are a digital product, in that a lot of people buy PDFs to use as a digital reference tool and never print them out. I mean, there's a minor cottage industry in auto-fillable PDF character sheets!
In that situation, digital accessibility in PDFs is hugely important, even just little things like having your contents page actually link to the other pages in a document.
- franga2000 5y agoOh yes, I was absolutely blown away when my gf showed me a PDF character sheet that she bought, which worked better than any of the proper apps (including the official website) made for this purpose. For all intents and purposes, it was an app - there was hierarchical content you could search through, setup wizards, automatic calculation... all implemented in PDF forms and whatever cursed scripting language Adobe inclues in Acrobat these days.
- dotancohen 5y agoCan that document be opened in non-Adobe PDF readers? For instance, we're a Linux household. Will Okular open those character sheets?
- franga2000 5y agoIt opens and renders the page, but nothing more. I'd never use it of course, but it's still very impressive.
