Maybe it's just me but I feel like PDFs are significantly a less common part of life nowadays. Especially when it comes to having to edit one

Ah. You're likely in the wrong job for it then. They are incredibly popular in any sort of digital paperwork job.

Can confirm, we're using PDF for any sort of pretty formatted documents/reports we're sending to clients.

Just about every financial institution will use PDFs. Now editing PDFs, that’s slightly different (but only so slightly). Used to be you had to use a certain tech giant’s monolithic and expensive software to create/edit PDFs, but these days it’s second nature; maybe to the point that you’ve stopped noticing?

I’m curious. What other format you have to send and receive documents?

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

Uncompressed .BMP files from Windows 3.11 MS Paint

LaTeX
If you want me to read it, you better put effort into writing it.

I tried to write my master dissertation in LaTeX. Emphasis on “tried”.

It's just you.

God I WISH that were true because I personally fucking hate them.

They have unfortuantely become a standard for sharing documents because they can be opened on a browser, on almost any device.
