I'm really confused here, it seems we all agree that pdf is a bad format?
- kaba0 4y agoI don’t know, it seems to be a format that does its intended job just fine. What’s next, will we hate txt as that’s not a good for spreadsheets?
- xwolfi 4y agoIt's as shit a format as non-UTF strings, yet it's everywhere and we must adapt, is my point. We can adapt to scanned documents before all documents are semantically tagged, just like we have to adapt to non standard ascii extensions in non English countries, is my point.
