My position comes from the fact that companies try to push their
proprietary formats down our throats. PDF is a perfect example of a
file type that I have disliked since I moved to Europe where the paper
format is different than the US. With PDF files, one cannot change the
paper format. I end up with empty space on the pages or images that are
distorted. Some pdf files that I have downloaded are set for some
really strange paper (brochure perhaps) that of course I don't have.
This is a limitation of the tools, not the file format.
There is no such problem with other files. Unfortunately, PDF has
become a standard. Luckily there are gpl tools that can handle them,
but I don't think you can thank adobe for that.
Yes, you can. The format is proprietary, but published, and they
don't charge licensing fees, unlike GIF, for example.

I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
