Plain text is better.
If you want exact page layout of publishing quality, PDF is awful but what we ended up with. The historic options were all worse in some way.

We also have txt files if you just want the text, ebook formats like epub if you want something pdf-like but that can reflow text, rtf or html if you want formatting in a standard cross platform way, or various formats like odt and docx that are more feature-rich but require specific editors to support all the features properly.

It just looks like slop because it's AI generated
Look carefully at the icons, it's especially obvious in the taskbar but you can see it everywhere if you zoom in

A few years ago I looked more into the format.
Probably I downloaded something off Internet Archive, and the file size difference was huge compared with the pdf version.

There's a lot of interesting tricks the format uses to get such small file sizes. And it works super well for the kinds of things I tend to digitize (b&w text, line drawings/schematics).

But when it comes to other people (sharing documents with other people), it seems like "no browser plugin" means dead in the water.
