@bondolo Fun fact: that's the "F" in "PDF".
“the blobbiest blobs we ever blobbed onto the web”
— @karenmcgrane
PDF is an open spec and PDF-A is designed specifically for archiving, with a fixed set of features. Other than plain UTF-8 text, I can’t think of a better format for sharing structured text (certainly not HTML after it moved to a ‘rolling release, who knows WTF this doc actually is’ format). I’d agree if we’re talking about machine-readable structured data.
@david_chisnall @Julianoe @0xIO32 @bondolo Saying PDF is better than HTML is fighting words in these parts. Absolutely batshit take.
@david_chisnall @0xIO32 @bondolo in theory. In practice most PDF out there are not done well.
I don't see how a PDF is better than a Html or epub (which is essentially html) 🤔
@david_chisnall @0xIO32 @bondolo true, I oversimplified.
