the year is 2050. running adobe reader takes up 50% CPU of the most powerful machines available to consumers. the carbon emissions from reading PDFs now exceed motor vehicles. it's still impossible to copy/paste text from a pdf

My mother sent me an email the other day, asking me how to "make videos speak". It turns out someone had embedded a video into a PDF "joke" and one of her relatives emailed to her. I told her to burn her computer.

What if we could replace PDFs with, say, SVGs?

How about *gasp* HTML?

I mean, Word docs are essentially XML

They really aren't. If you think PDF has mad legacy cruft in it, you should try reading the OOXML spec. Or try getting Office 365 and Office Mac to agree on where pages break.

I so agree with you! The massive inconvenience of PDF for the user rarely outweighs the minor HTML injustices righted through the power of PDF layout.
