germany be like: no problem, we’ll just keep using faxes
OOTL on this?
It’s a joke. PDF is a document format that you need to “export” rather than save in most word processing applications. I’m not sure why.
Okay yeah that makes more sense.
“Save As” by a different name I guess.
Except maybe it was because it’s not an editable format by the application? That was always silly… Why Adobe has a near monopoly on editing PDFs.
But the real tarrifs would be on importing them…
DOCX is a windows format. Use ODT instead.
Who cares? Is it necessary to start these discussions every single time anything Microsoft whatsoever is mentioned? It’s just a dumb title likely used because it’s hard to come up with titles. Can’t we just focus on the actual meme instead or just move on?

The orange tumor isn’t interested in throwing a tariff on pdf for a free format. This guy wants you to buy macroshaft products.
ODT supremacy.
I was the annoying little shit in college asking my profs if they took it. I’m surprised none used that opportunity to tell me to use LaTeX (don’t worry my technical writing prof took plenty of opportunities to spread the good word format)
No problem, everybody just migrate over to tumblr, the next-generation PDF, problem solved.
Id do a ‘save as…’ for now, just to be on the safe side
LaTeX users: “Guess I’ll go back to DVI”
Well pdf is overused anyway. Maybe we can get some more use of epub or just straight up html
Different use cases
That’s part of the problem. PDF is used in all sorts of places where it shouldn’t.
Anywhere where it’s meant to be edited for one thing. Keep the docx
Retvrn to PostScript.
*don’t use docx in the first place
What’s wrong with docx
Proprietary format that only “works” with one software
Docx is a an open format. Word just does some things weird
Not an open format. Microsoft just pretends it is. But it isn’t. They subverted the whole system, didn’t even hide it, just to push their impossible to implement format through.
So now it still has to be reverse engineered, and they get to call it “open”.
