minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish24•1 year agoI hate that people try to edit PDFs. There’s a hundred formats more suited to editing.

minus-square@droanslink4•edit-21 year agoAccountant? The number of times I’ve received a file that was or could have been a CSV extract is insane. At least Excel has gotten pretty good at extracting text. Still, not much worse than receiving an Excel file with an embedded PDF.
