PDF files suck
I hate receiving an email with a PDF file attachment. They're a right pain because they are slow to open and very clunky to search around.

Why are people so obsessed with using PDF (portable document format) files? In my opinion they are the work of the devil and cause more problems than they solve.

| 05-4-2008 | The whole thing with different types of file drives me nuts. You get an email with an attachment & when you try to open it you get a message saying "windows cannot open this type of file". It then offers to look on the internet for software to open it and after doing a VERY thorough se...more | Grumpyoldwoman. |
| 06-1-2008 | I hate Adobe Acrobat. I hate software which constantly begs to be upgraded. Adobe Acrobat in its latest incarnations is horribly unusable. It is bloatware. Why do companies force us to use Adobe Acrobat forms when applying for jobs?
Why do we have the PDF format? There are so many other formats w...more | Adobe Acrobat hater |
| 14-12-2007 | Get rid of Adobe Acrobat and use little Foxit. It works 10 times faster and no bloat. PDF is OK if you MUST retain formatting, but it is a little bit analy retentive isn't it. | soft southerner |
| 29-11-2007 | "Yahoo has reached a deal to start running advertisements in Adobe's popular PDF document-reading format. The service will allow publishers to make money by including adverts linked to the content of a PDF document in a panel at the side of the page." - source BBC News http://news.bbc...more | Me |
| 25-2-2007 | Your gripe really seems to be with Acrobat Reader (or whatever other software), and with the way manuals are created. rather than with the PDF format itself.
PDF files are for a specific purpose; they're an open format designed so that anyone, using any computer, can view/print a document wit...more | Tim Speerling |
| 17-2-2007 | I agree with the article totally!
In my opinion the .pdf file is the worst thing unleashed upon (unsuspecting and naiive) man since World War 2.
OK - they might be OK for you folks working with pretty simple word documents etc. etc. - but I'm in Engineering and everybody keeps asking for d...more | Subdriver |

| 06-2-2006 | Hello. If you dont like using Adobe Acrobat Reader try Foxit Reader. Its great and takes no time at all to open PDF files.
On the topic of PDFs I have a mixed view about them. They are good for documents such as user guides, CVs etc but if you want to convert a pdf to word (eg if you had an applica...more | Mr PDF |
| 25-12-2005 | PDF's may be great if you are typesetting or printing off large volumes of something, but for ordinary web pages the format is completely innapropriate. | john |
| 05-12-2005 | PDF files are a treasure. Geeks argue the same information could be presented in XML and be automatically opened and formatted by their toasters. PDF's are the defacto standard for professional printing presses now because they hold all the design information, fonts, layout, pictures in a single...more | Paul |
| 02-12-2005 | I can't stand receiving PDF files in an email or downloading them from a site. A complete nightmare. Loved DOS in the bad old days.. but you can keep your PDF's | PDF denial |
| 30-10-2005 | I love DOS. As an operating system, it was absolutely brilliant. Windows was, is and probably always will be a nightmare, although I do admit that XP is actually not too bad I suppose.
The reason I am such a fan of PDF is because I used to typeset books for publishers, and I could just email th...more | Nikki |
