PDF is Lazy Digitalization

Published: 2022-04-14 Updated: 2025-03-26

In principle, there's nothing wrong with PDF… It's a great format; it's relatively secure and fairly flexible. It offers high levels of layout fidelity and reliability, and it's also convenient to use on the whole. Anyone who's ever worked with Postscript (or still does) will know what I'm talking about. So, what's with this title? Put simply, PDF is probably the worst option if you're really serious about digitalization.
