    I would be happy to never see a PDF again, can we not have something better?

    I always think it’s like complaining that nobody under a certain age can use the card catalog, microfiche or whatever. Technology changes. I have so many leftover now useless skills; please God may the ones related to Adobe rot on that same pile soon.

      PDF has its place. I’m sure there’s something better that could replace it, but PDF is ubiquitous.

      I hate getting sent docx files or whatever that stupid iPad notes format is. I open it and the formatting is all screwed up. Or I can’t open it at all.

      When I send files, it’s a PDF, so I know they are seeing exactly what I am seeing. Exactly as it was meant to be seen.
