Mr_Rose:
PDF is a proprietary standard that became popular then became an actual standard but is still largely run by the originating company for their own apps and is thus grossly inefficient and occasionally prone to breaking existing readers when new features are added. But it remains popular because only five people use XPS and no one knows DjVu even exists.
sitnspin:
My only experience with pdf's is as a reader of (primarily rpg) books. I've never actually created one, so I don't know how difficult they are to work with, but as a consumer I have never had any difficulties with them.
hedgie:
Most of mine are game books, and even better, at least on a Mac, the desktop search has them all OCRed, so if I don't know exactly which splatbook something is in, I can easily find it. Creating them is easy enough using free software, using varying definitions of "easy". Editing them, however, is another beast entirely. I haven't found any non-paid software that does so in an acceptable manner.
wiserd:
"PDFs are like democracy." .... mine was corrupted by Russia?
Potato Farmer:
Oh dear. A proposition for fully socialized healthcare (for A.I.).
That's going to cause some disturbance.
