Of course it sucks for office work! It's not supposed to be used for office work!
I know (and it's not supposed to be used for anything), but Adobefag
>>22 said so.
Say I want you to edit my document, and I send you a nice big JPG screenshot of it. Do you get angry at the JPG format because you can't edit it?
I can tell you are a "designer" fag. You completely ignore that JPEG is NOT for vector drawing, text or screenshots, due to DCT compression. PNG would be the best popular format for that, and it's an open format.
If you sent me a screenshot of the text, it'd be equally as bad. You're sending me shit. Use text for text. I want text. As in text. So give text. As in text. The difference is JPEG has its use for pictures. When you need a matrix of pixels, JPEG doesn't fuck with you (other than being lossy). On the contrary, PDF doesn't have any use. It's bullshit. Perhaps I can grant it'd be ok as a printing format. But I don't print. I use a computer screen, and I don't want to see PDFs on my computer screen.
I like how you think everyone who likes PDF is a "designer".
Yes, you Adobefags are all fancy-glasses trendy-clothes "web designers" or "graphics designers".
Many of us are scientists.
From /sci, possibly.

HTTP 403 Forbidden. Lol, you fags are so concerned about people stealing your arts/ideas/etc. that you don't even let people access them, rendering them useless. What's next? Partnership with Microsoft for Vista PaperDRM? I come back from lab to say what this shit? You stealing my arts! Perl fags fack you.
(Note: I'm trolling you here. The rest was serious.)
It's called the zoom tool shithead.
Nope, it's called PDF is shit. "Zoom tool" becomes shit because PDF is page-oriented. Pages force a specific layout on my screen which doesn't accomodate to it. If I use "zoom tool", I end up having to scroll horizontally to read. Because page-orientation is shit for fags, text doesn't accomodate properly and portably to the client. Same goes for your goatse-anus-sized margins. Articles articles lol. Wasting my screen. And what if text comes out too big? I can reduce it, but then I'm wasting my screen again, because your gay ass pages have aspect ratios below 1 and text is not rendered according to the User-agent's client width. Also, what's with pages? If you're so concerned about proper layouts, pages force breaks everywhere and they fuck with tables and other stuff.
