Question here.  I'm doing some web design and I have to create a training page for new employees.  This involves a presentation I've created and then a test afterwards however I have to have a printable certificate that I can produce after the trainee passes the test.  I’ve found an acceptable format but it’s a PDF and every PDF editor I’ve found won’t let me save any changes I’ve made because it is copyright protected.  Does anyone know of an editor that is free that will not pose this problem or even better a certificate that is already in HTLM format?

Thanks.

just make your own certificate, dumbass.

No, PDFs are backwards. They are fag shit for fags, the same kind of fags who like Vista, OSX, Apple shit and Adobe shit.

- You think it looks more professional if it's a PDF?
- You think it's better if it's a PDF?
- You think it's good to have pages in a computer screen?
- You think it's good to rape your people by not being able to do anything useful out of it?
- You think it's acceptable to include features such as disallowing copy and paste?
- You think it's acceptable to be browsing the World Wide Web using W3C standards and then have to open a XBOX HUEG, obnoxious, slow, stupid, shitty piece of propietary Adobe software to view some stupid file in a shitty, stupid propietary Adobe format?

If you answer "Yes" to these questions, congratulations, you are a professional faggot!

PDFs are superior to any office format. I despise having to open a doc, odt, ppt and so on, when I have no intension of modifying the documents.

PDFs are worse than Office formats because they are both propietary, but you can edit, copy, get vector data and take advantage from Office formats. And of course, both PDFs and Office formats are worse than open standards.
You may be happy with shitty page layouts, shitty fonts "designers" use, reading a book on black on white (which is as if you spent hours staring to a light bulb), and not doing anything useful with your octet-streams, but I do want to do something useful with my octet-streams.

Truth, but still undesirable when you could use World Wide Web browsers to browse the World Wide Web. Is it that twisted, this idea?

Proper subsets of PDF have been, or are being, standardized under ISO for several constituencies:

PDF/X for the printing and graphic arts as ISO 15930 (working in ISO TC130)
PDF/A for archiving in corporate/government/library/etc environments as ISO 19005 (work done in ISO TC171)
PDF/E for exchange of engineering drawings (work done in ISO TC171)
PDF/UA for universally accessible PDF files

I recently extracted a vector map from a PDF. Although it was more of a pain than it should be, the problem lies with the lack of good quality tools, not the format.

No, PDF is an open-standard.
PDF is a propietary standard Adobe can change anytime.

But PDF is an open-standard, Office formats are not.
PDF is a propietary standard, just like Office. The differences are that, in favour of PDF, it's more public, and in favour of Office formats, they are not completely useless, dead data formats, so I prefer the later, although naturally I prefer truly open standards to that.

For most things, I wholeheartedly agree.

What kind of a fucking stupid troll are you? PDF is a fucking open and ISO standard, what more can you wish for? I'm pissed off, you're so stupid I can't believe it, don't come back until you have some arguments.

No they're not, but I see that the PDF spec is free (no thanks to ISO though). Now all we need is a good Free set of PDF tools.
