You can edit PDFs on libre?
How is pdf the standard also?
It’s got way too many features like 3d rendering. It’s proprietary. Simple things like copy and paste from a paper with columns does not work and is basically an unsolved AI problem.
Like, it mostly renders the same, but fonts, OCR, etc are different between viewers, and the official Adobe reader/acrobat are totally enshittified with AI that they don’t work anymore.
I hate how it deals with lines in chart grids where it looks like different lines are bolded depending on your zoom level
Yeah, using vector graphics on PDF because you can zoom in and you get into that problem. For big drawings I just look at 100% zoom, otherwise if there's too many lines on small drawings I just make a png instead.
