Thank you, Adobe Reader 9

Thinking of it: so PDF maybe stands for (Hidden) Proprietary Document Format?

(In the sense of: you will never ever be able to desire all of our features we are continuously adding to our Take-Over-The-World-Document-Format?)

I'm confused.

PDF is an open spec. Adobe's viewer sucking is a separate issue.

Do you know the whole story? PDF has not been created by users, but by a company.

Only now we have seen it changing into an ISO standard.

(Originally, Adobe only wanted to see it universally used to sell their PDF writers: please read for free, and please please pay for writing it. Only that it didn't happen this way.)
