When will nerds come up with a file format that will replace PDF and free us from having to use Adobe products to edit them?

I haven't used adobe shitware in a decade and I use pdfs everyday

Which non-adobe software allows you to do these (or most of them) to PDF files?
Nicholas Peterson
Last time I checked, PostScript existed.

PDF is an open standard. The only case where you need to use the adobe client, afaik, is for DRMed documents that need to phone home to make sure that they haven't been modified and that you have permission to view them.
Anthony Walker
See PDF is free as freedom. There is no need to replace it.
Jordan Morgan
PDF is the best cross platform document format.

Ghostscript can combine, optimize and export pdf to other formats (PostScript, PCL and XPS). I don't know if it can also do any of the other things. I don't use it that extensively.

I remember when everybody used text files. And we liked it!
Then HTML.
Now PDF.
These days, though, you're likely to find text files with weird extensions.

On windows you can use sumatra or foxit
On linux okular is unbeatable but i supplement its functionality with cli convert and other things that are unknown to you, since you are clearly on windows
Jackson Anderson
Already exists, it's called .txt.

serious question: is there a .pdf reader that allows mouse-to-zoom? more specifically, with the scroll wheel and zooms in directly where the pointer is at.
my job often requires me to read blueprints in .pdf and having to increase zoom % and being forced to scroll around a page(s), is the fucking worst.
Leo Robinson
Sumatra PDF.
Ctrl+wheel to scroll to the pointer position, and click+drag to move in the documents.
Actually I'm sure most readers do that, but I can confirm its Sumatra's behavior.

Is PDF the most boomer file format? They demand everything in it so they can print it out or read it with their Adobe shitware.

Free standard. Can use it free, no permission required. Actual binary format is zip with XML inside. Microsoft anything is NOT required to program for it.
PDF isn’t that bad considering it is an open free standard now
