Comment on Word.
red_bull_of_juarez@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks agoI think from an end-user perspective it’s realistic to expect Word to edit PDFs. It’s just that the PDF format is an unbelievably complex clusterfuck and thus requires an entirely separate and expensive program.

i mean, it’s equivalent to using a typewriter to edit a printed page. pdf was that designed to be edited.

What? If pdf wasn’t designed to be edited, why are there pdf editors?

because people who don’t know computers can’t learn to use the right file format.
pdf is a container format for code that is run by printers. it’s like editing a printed page.
