    I’m pretty sure you can just select pdf when saving the file in word.

    Edit: lol wasn’t really commenting on the politics of this post, just being pedantic about word processing software. Please don’t read any political meaning into my statement lmao.

      One candidate is 78 years old, types in all-caps, and forgets what he was saying halfway through a sentence. For my money, I think it’s a fair bet that the difference between a PDF and a native MS Word file eludes them.

      On second thoughts...

      Come to think of it, a regular client of Epstein’s teenage human trafficking ring probably know more about ‘PDF files’ (ahem) than most of us.

      Right, but keep in mind how low the bar is for politicians. They have people for this.

      Are we sure this isn’t the first presidential election where a candidate even knows what a pdf is?

      And reminder: “save as PDF” is better for accessibility because it keeps tags and structural metadata. “Print as PDF” strips that and makes accessibility nerds sad. (This comment brought to you by me, a librarian/webadmin armpit-deep in updating several sites to meet the new ruling on digital accessibility for government websites in the US)

      Only when you “save as” which is too difficult for some people

      I believe the point is that deep in this digital age the only President that’s actually used a computer before was Obama (probably).

      Correct, since like Office 2007, it is literally a built in file format from the Save As menu.
