That's double work, especially considering that browsers have built-in native PDF viewers these days.
- presbyterian 3y agoIt’s not double work, it’s the proper amount of work to do the task you (should) want to do: share information in an accessible way. Also, there are a billion different ways you can create decent HTML and a PDF from one source.
- DANmode 3y agoThe "Save" dialog in any browser, is a good example.
- lockhouse 3y agoSave results in the often terrible browser printed output.
- presbyterian 3y agoThey're saying that because browsers render the HTML/CSS differently, the prints wouldn't look good. I don't think this is necessarily true, but even if it is, CSS lets you style the print version of a page directly so that the print looks good, and you can even make it look like a normal document and not a printed web page
