Nick's hate against pdf clouds his reason apparently.
pdf is a perfect format for technical documentation and
papers. go and shout at people who publish their paper
in .ps and .pdf . having said that i don't agree with
publishing _only_ in .pdf . all the formats have their use.
I wouldn't presume to speak for Mr. Holland, of course. But I've raised
the pdf issue here a couple of times lately. I *don't* hate pdf. What I
object to is inapproriate use. Why the hell would you type out a text
document and then make it available as pdf only? No fancy formatting, no
graphics, no layout, just text. That's the kind of thing I've been
seeing in pdf. It's just stupid.
The IRS making tax forms available as pdf is *perfect* usage. People
making papers published in print magazines available online in pdf is
great. Using pdf as a uber cool, k-rad mechanical typewriter is braindead.
