Here's my ONE nit-pick about PDF I'll make before switching over to the
Acrobat Cheerleader Side (tm) :-,
The rasterizer makes text hard to read. It either anti-alises the text too
much making it look fuzzy and giving me eyestrain headaches, or it doesn't
anti-alias at all making the text look chunky.
After reading perfectly sharp text (in a book) and pixelated-but-well-hinted
text (TrueType on the Windows boxen), reading an Acrobat document is, well,
hard. I was genuinely surprised that Adobe chose this format for reading
material -- this level of AA is fine for images, but really really hard on
the eyes when it comes to text.
Just my $.02... now then...
GO GO PDF DOCS RAH RAH RAH
THEY KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT ROCK RAH RAH RAH
