There is no question that there are some things for which PDF is the
perfect solution.  Unfortunately, I have to deal with college
administrators who will do things such as attach a Weird .DOC file or PDF
with decorative images, etc. in place of plain text for a 3 line
announcement that a meeting has been rescheduled.  I am/was referring to
the abuses and incorrect usage, not to the valid uses.

example: edit the 1771 FDC to reflect that the "built-in data separator"
is NOT adequate
correct typos - there is a probably apocryphal story that Randy Cook's
choices for data address marks were due to a transposition error in a
datasheet

But, I was talking about the abuses, not the legitimate uses.

I do NOT challenge that there are many things that PDF IS good for.
I would like it a lot more if there were frequent defenestration of
administrators who send "FYI"/"See the attachment" emails, without even a
meaningful Subject:.
