- Summary
- The content expresses widespread frustration and difficulty surrounding PDF files. Users describe PDF parsing as a "thankless" and "insane" process, citing issues like drawn text paths instead of actual characters, misleading font maps, and PDF generators dropping important details. The format was initially designed to thwart technology, prioritizing drawing over semantic preservation, making modification consistently tricky and leading to a feeling that PDFs shouldn't still exist in 2025.
