Is that the face he makes when amber pegs him after shitting on his bed?

>>110195755
so you used the alpha release of a vibecoded acrobat clone to shit out a PDF with a layout that's utterly fucked when viewed on a good half of the phones out there, then you got mad because your friends owns an iphone?

He's not the dumb one bro

I will literally print out the pdf and sign the paper copy with a pen, then scan it and save it as a new pdf with my pen signature. I just don't care.

freetards can't pdf
the code to do anything beyond the most minor editing and viewing is behind a licensed library owned by Adobe that is not free and the freetard attempts to reverse engineer it only works with other freetard attempts to reverse engineer it, you aren't going to be able to vibe code clean room it without a ton of bugs

wat you talking about? Libre Office exports to pdf
>>
>>110195755
Isn't the whole point of PDF that it makes a standardized document that keeps its formatting and layout universally?
>>
>>110200487
shit's archaic and redundant now anyway, no one owns printers, govs and corpos are the only holdouts with their boomer bearuecrosy. Fucking hate filling out paper forms and doing gymnastics to make a pdf out of a smartphone picture just to send that shit digitally, cuz they still only support pdf uploads.

fucking imbecils

Shut up luddite, go cry about it elsewhere
It works anywhere if you're not retarded like 99% of phonefags btw

>>110195755
escalate it to your manager and make sure to include a followup email so that when it gets to hr your ass is covered.

>>110195755
>open it in vibe code non official apps, all good
good morning sir

>>110195755
Unflattened PDFs are always fucked for some reason, I always flatten PDFs for that reason.

>>110200456
Free"tard" tools are the only ones that consistently work with all kinds of PDFs. Of course adobe has proprietary extensions that don't work anywhere but on adobe, but in practice nobody uses those.

>>110200487
Yes but it hasn't worked for that in practice for ages. Most authoring software encodes text as paths to bypass font shenanigans for example.

>PDFcraft
wasn't it called printcraft?
Anyway what's a good way to design something like that on linux then?
>>
>>110197624
Preview is shit though. I have pdfs published by major companies that dont render right on it.
