I’m sorry your symbol is rejected for being neither square nor penis.

Not with pdfs

I do. My office works with PDFs all the time. In fact, I’ve become quite adept at mucking about with them.

But anyone who uses PDFs for reading text-only eBooks, whether reading them directly or converting to ePub/MOBI/AZW3 from them, is making a horrible mistake. The primary purpose of PDF is to ensure that the layout on the screen is precisely what will appear when printed on paper.

Using PDF for text that should be reflowable (ie. adjusts when the margins or font size is changed) is several kinds of awful. Kovid Goyal, the lead developer of the Calibre eBook Management software, has complained at length about how the problems Calibre has with converting from PDF are directly related to the super clunky way text in PDFs is coded.

Try to keep up Ash. We no longer care if you read PDFs. Now we care if you try to read PDFs on eBook readers.

I’m just saying this as someone who has a small library of ebooks, and who has had to convert a number of ebooks or fanfictions from PDF. It’s annoying and the formatting frequently gets all out of whack.

But my office has plenty of fillable forms and such that we submit electronically, and the majority of them are PDF. I’m the one who is responsible for updating them when a new version is available or correcting them when they need to be adjusted.
